In an appearance this week on The Daily Show, Nigerian singing sensation, Burna Boy, talked with Trevor Noah about his explosive success. Thanks to efforts by him and other Nigerian artists, the world is beginning to awake to the talent and truth of Africa, and Burna Boy’s upcoming sold-out concert at New York City’s Madison Square Garden is further testimony to this fact. The singer kept his cool, calm, and collected demeanor as the two recapped the massive success Burna has achieved in recent years. Noah praised Burna and his fellow Internationally recognized countrymen, as he claimed, “One thing I’ve truly loved is how Nigerian artists have taken Africa to the world. You’ve blown up the continent. Everybody is trying to emulate what Nigerian artists are creating.”
