When Burna Boy was still an upcoming artist, some promoters would insist on paying him $100 for a show.
But Mama Burna saw something... She knew Burna wouldn’t leave his bed for that price, so she'd tell him the promoters paid $100 — then quietly topped up the extra $50 from her teacher’s salary.
His father would drive him to the show, wait, and bring him back home.
Burna never knew the half of what was happening.
Years later, that quiet act of faith mattered. Because someone believed enough to cover the difference, he kept showing up — and the rest became history.
And because of that one small, hidden choice… Burna Boy is getting booked today globally, selling out big global stages like the 80k concert capacity London Stadium. 🏟
