Burna Boy has announced a surprise album drop set for July 30, 2024. Known for his award-winning albums and sold-out concerts, the Nigerian megastar took to X (formerly Twitter) to reveal this news, sending fans into a frenzy.
The post, made on July 29, 2024, simply read, “Album dropping 12M,” leading to speculation about whether it was a prank given its unexpected nature.
The announcement comes shortly after Burna Boy celebrated the fifth anniversary of his Grammy-nominated 2019 album, “African Giant,” with a concert at Koko Camden.
Despite his consistent album releases—five in six years—this unanticipated drop has surprised many, especially as it deviates from his usual meticulous planning.
Additionally, the unusual timing of a Tuesday release has further fueled doubts among fans.
Earlier in the year, Burna Boy released the single “Higher,” expressing gratitude for his success with a music video shot in his hometown of Port Harcourt.
Fans are now eagerly waiting for midnight on July 30, 2024, to see if the new album will indeed be released.
