Grammy Winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy has become the first African artiste to hit the two billion streams mark in the United Kingdom.
The singer was presented with a Brit plaque at his sold-out show at Koko Camden in London on Monday night, in recognition of the feat.
This comes barely few weeks after he was presented with a Brit 1 billion streams plaque at his sold-out show at the London Stadium last month.
Receiving his Brit 2 billion streams plaque, Burna Boy revealed that he fought for it.
In his words;
“Thank you very much. I appreciate you. Ehen, now that’s it. You’ve to fight for your right.”
One of the presenters inferred: “You already have it. You don’t need to fight.”
Burna Boy rebuffed: “No. You know, we have to fight for our rights.”
