Videos from Burna Boy’s Saturday night stage show in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire have surfaced online. A video captured the Grammy winner’s on-stage homage to football players Emmanuel and Jay Jay Okocha. Since then, Nigerian internet users have praised the humorous video, with many hailing Burna Boy.
On Saturday night, January 20, Nigerian international performer and Grammy Award winner Damini Ogulu, also known as Burna Boy, closed down the STELL’AIR festival in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire.
Following his arrival in Abidjan with his mother and manager Bose Ogulu, Burna Boy performed live, getting the crowd to sing along to some of his hit songs.
But when the City Boy crooner stopped to honor football legends, it touched hearts: Emmanuel Adebayor of Cote d’Ivoire and Jay Jay Okocha of Nigeria
It’s unclear if Burna Boy would stay in Cote d’Ivoire to see Monday’s AFCON match between the Nigerian Super Eagles and Guinea-Bissau.
