Grammy award-winning Nigerian singer, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has become the first African music artiste to hit one billion streams on Audiomack.
Burna Boy made the great feat as the global streaming platform announced it via a Twitter post on Thursday.
The ‘Last Last’ crooner achieved the feat with the combined streams of his last three albums and singles in recent years.
Burna Boy is also the most followed African musician on the platform, with over four million followers.
It seems to be lots of histories for the music icon this year. Earlier this month, he made history as the first African artiste after selling out 80k-capacity London stadium.
Burna Boy’s concert, which was held on Saturday, June 6, in the United Kingdom, sparked delight among his fans by virtue of his performance.
