Grammy-winning Nigerian singer, Damini Ogulu, aka Burna Boy, has been included in Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2024.
Legendary Beninese singer Angelique Kidjo wrote Ogulu’s tribute on Time’s website.
She noted that Mr Ogulu played a pivotal role in the global acceptance of African music.
Kidjo wrote: “Burna Boy has made that vision [acceptance of African music] a global reality. His music draws from the rich well of Nigerian folk traditions, and he carries the torch lit by Fela Kuti. He is history in the making.”

CityNews Nigeria recalls that Burna Boy also recently secured a coveted spot on the inaugural Essence Magazine’s Sexiest Men Of The Moment list.
