After the show, the Afrobeats singer became the first African artiste to sell out the 80, 000-capacity London Stadium in the UK.
Confirming the report via its official Twitter handle on Saturday before the show, the London Stadium congratulated the singer for the achievement.
It tweeted: “NOW SOLD OUT @burnaboy’s RECORD-BREAKING concert has now officially SOLD OUT.
“What an incredible achievement for the first-ever African artist to solo headline a UK stadium. For those lucky enough to make it, enjoy the show.”
Earlier in an interview with London Stadium, Burna spoke on his will to make history and put to rest doubts about his prowess.
He said: “London Stadium is going to be my fairground! I’ve been told that I couldn’t achieve anything because of where I came from. I hope this can show people that when you have a dream it doesn’t matter where you’ve come from, your dream can come true. This is going to be legendary, it’s history and I can’t wait for you all to be a part of that”.
