The city of Boston, Massachusetts, in the United States, has officially proclaimed March 2nd as “Burna Boy Day” in recognition of the Nigerian singer’s contributions.

This proclamation was documented by the Boston City Council and signed by Councillor Ruthzee Louijeune.

The document highlights Burna Boy’s performances and advocacy efforts, underscoring Boston’s commitment to celebrating culture and diversity. Burna Boy’s legacy symbolizes possibility and the importance of amplifying marginalized voices.

Given his numerous sold-out shows in Boston since gaining international acclaim in 2018, the designation of Burna Boy Day further solidifies his connection with the city.
