From Port Harcourt to Paris, Burna Boy’s global takeover is showing no signs of slowing down.
The Grammy-winning Afrofusion star has just extended his reign as the most-certified Nigerian artist in France, bagging yet another Platinum plaque—this time for his collaboration with French-Congolese singer Dadju on the 2019 hit “Donne‑moi l’accord.”
The track, which has now surpassed 50 million streams in France, has earned Burna a new feather in his already feathered cap, further solidifying his position as Afrobeats’ ultimate cultural ambassador to the Francophone world.
A Growing Wall of French Fame
This latest certification adds weight to a discography already lined with prestigious accolades from France’s official music certification body, SNEP. Burna Boy’s arsenal includes:
Diamond certifications for “On The Low” and “Last Last” – each crossing 50M streams
A Platinum status for his landmark 2019 album, African Giant
A Platinum plaque for “Gbona” and Gold for the soulful anthem “Alone”
Every plaque is not just a milestone—it’s a symbol of Burna Boy’s cross-cultural impact and his ability to connect through rhythm, language barriers be damned.
Leading Afrobeats to Global Glory
In early 2025, Burna etched his name in another historic slot by becoming the first African artist to grace the cover of Billboard France, marking a watershed moment for African music’s rise in Europe. It’s a cover that says: Afrobeats has arrived—and it’s here to stay.
Adding to his growing list of global certifications, Burna’s contribution to the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack, “Alone,” earned RIAA Gold status in the U.S. earlier this year, becoming his sixth certification stateside.
Why This Matters
Pan-African Power: Burna Boy’s recognitions in France mark a cultural shift—one where African rhythms dominate international charts.
Longevity: From 2019’s African Giant to 2025’s collaborations, Burna has mastered the art of staying relevant and revolutionary.
Bridging Continents: His achievements reflect the seamless connection between African art and Western appreciation, music that transcends borders.
What’s Next for the African Giant?
With his eighth studio album No Sign of Weakness dropping on July 11, 2025, Burna is far from done. The project is already buzzing with singles like:
“Bundle by Bundle”
“Update”
“Sweet Love”
“TaTaTa” — a high-voltage collaboration with Travis Scott
All signs point to another global smash.
Burna Boy isn’t just collecting plaques—he’s building a legacy. One beat, one verse, and one continent at a time.
