Nigerian music powerhouse Burna Boy has once again proven his global dominance—this time by claiming the title of the most certified Nigerian artist in France.
The Grammy-winning Afrofusion star earned a total of 14 certifications from France’s official music certification body, SNEP (Syndicat National de l’Édition Phonographique), cementing his legacy in the European market.
His decorated catalog in France includes:
Diamond certifications for fan-favorite tracks: “Last Last,” “Be Honest,” “On The Low,” and the global hit “Jerusalema.”
Platinum awards for the iconic anthems “Ye,” “Gbona,” and his seminal album African Giant.
Gold plaques for charting singles like “Anybody,” “City Boys,” “For My Hand,” “Alone,” “Collateral Damage,” and the introspective album Love, Damini.
A standout platinum collaboration on “Donne-Moi L’accord” with French-Congolese star Dadju.
This achievement not only sets Burna apart from his peers but also underscores the infectious global appeal of Afrobeats. His cultural crossover is especially evident in France, a country increasingly embracing African soundscapes.
Burna Boy’s French triumph is part of a larger story. In May 2024, he made history by becoming the first African artist to headline the legendary Stade de France, where over 80,000 fans chanted his lyrics in unison—a moment that marked a turning point for African music on the world stage.
From Lagos to Paris, Burna Boy continues to build bridges between continents with music that transcends borders. His rise isn’t just a personal victory—it’s a win for Nigerian artistry and the global Afrobeats movement.
