AFROBEATS TO THE WORLD: Burna Boy Blazes Rogers Arena! And that’s Not All…

"Burna Boy Blazes Rogers Arena! And that’s Not All…"


Imagine Burna Boy lighting up the stage at Rogers Arena in Vancouver! Yep, that happened on November 7, 2023, and boy, did he set it on fire! Andrew Chin captured that electrifying moment perfectly.


But that's not the only headline-grabbing news! At the 2023 Billboard Music Awards, it was a total Nigerian takeover! Burna Boy and Rema made history, bagging the first-ever Afrobeats awards. Burna Boy snagged the Top Afrobeats Artist, adding another trophy to his epic Grammy win. Meanwhile, Rema hit the jackpot, landing the inaugural Top Afrobeats Song award for his chart-topping collab "Calm Down" with Selena Gomez.



Rema was on fire during his acceptance speech, talking about unity and how this win is a global nod to Afrobeats. Selena, showing major love for Rema, thanked everyone for the support.

But hold up, "Calm Down" wasn't just a hit in the Afrobeats category—it made waves in other big categories like top radio song, Billboard Global 200, and top collaboration. It even reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Rema's first entry and Selena's ninth top 10 hit!

And guess what? Burna Boy wasn't just chilling on the sidelines. He bagged the Best Afrobeats Act award, dedicating it to Africa and all those emerging talents making waves. His vision? Oh, it's just the beginning—he's got bigger plans brewing!


These wins aren't just about Burna Boy and Rema; they're about the whole Afrobeats scene going global. Their victories shout loud about the genre's reach and influence, painting an unmissable picture on the world's musical canvas.
