Nigerian singer Burna Boy has once again captured global attention with his spectacular appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show in Burbank, California.
The Grammy-winning artist made a dramatic entrance through the “Spirit Tunnel,” accompanied by Yoruba drummers chanting “E kaabo” (meaning “Welcome”) as he walked in wearing a custom-tailored suit.
The vibrant display of African culture immediately thrilled the audience and earned praise for its authenticity and celebration of Nigeria’s musical roots.
Singer unveils new album ‘No Sign of Weakness’
During the interview, Burna Boy discussed his highly anticipated eighth studio album, No Sign of Weakness, which was released in July 2025.
He revealed exciting collaborations with international stars including Travis Scott and Mick Jagger, highlighting the album’s fusion of Afro-fusion, soul, and global influences.
The artist also spoke about the power of music in building resilience and unity amid global challenges, describing his new project as “a reflection of strength through sound.”
Fans celebrate while others express disappointment
The appearance drew widespread applause from fans around the world for showcasing Afrobeats on a global stage and elevating Nigerian culture in mainstream media.
