Burna Boy made $12million from eight shows
Burna Boy made a reported $12million from eight concerts.The figures were shared by ChartsAfrica on X (formerly Twitter), and showed that the Nigerian singer-songwriter is responsible for eight of the 10 highest-grossing concerts by an African artist over the past two years.The figures took into consideration his eight shows across 2022 and 2023, and revealed that the gigs brought in approximately $11.8million (£9.31m).Gigs taken into account included his slot at La Defense Arena in Paris, which brought in $2.86million, his slot at Madison Square Garden ($1.58m), Ziggo Dome in the Netherlands ($1.56m) and Capital One Arena in the US ($1.43m).Other shows featured his slot at The O2 in London ($1.35m) as well as more US shows at BMO Stadium ($1.22m), State Farm Arena ($905,024), and Oakland Arena ($885,278).The remainder of the Top 10 list includes both of Wizkid’s shows at Madison Square Garden, which brought the artist a combined $1.95 million.However, as reported by Business Day, the figures aren’t to imply that Burna Boy went home with the full amount calculated, as that figure will have been split to cover costs from his team, the venues, promoters, marketing and tax laws.The outlet also draws attention to a report from The Guardian, which tallied out the various deductions from artists’ touring incomes – noting that taxes account for between five and 35 per cent, and public performance royalties count for just under one per cent.

Stefflon Don and Jada Kingdom exchange diss tracks, allegedly over Burna Boy
Stefflon Don and Jada Kingdom have traded shots at one another with new diss tracks, and it’s allegedly because of Burna Boy.At the end of 2023, it became fashionable for dancehall artists to perform (or deejay) over the iconic ‘Dutty Money Riddim’ – an instrumental that was popular in 2010 due to massive hits ‘Go Go Club’ by Vybz Kartel and ‘Bike Back’ by Blak Ryno.On Sunday (January 7), Don teased her contribution to the Riddim on Instagram. In a video, you can hear the British-based star slate an unnamed woman for her promiscuous ways: “Never fuck a man to go land pon a jet / You never fuck my man, dutty gyal, we did lef’.”Fans took to social media to share theories that Don was referring Kingdom, following last year’s rumours that the ‘Heavy’ singer and Don’s ex-boyfriend Burna Boy had been in a secret relationship.The Afrobeats juggernaut even namechecked Kingdom in his verse for the remix of Byron Messia’s song ‘Taliban’: “All the best pum pum deh yah Kingston / So me buy a Birkin fi Jada Kingdom.”Kingdom called out Don on Instagram, saying that “it’s weird” that the latter wanted to start the feud over a man who “is for everybody.”Don decided to rework her initial song – now called ‘Dat A Dat’ – and deliberately called out “Twinkie,” which was a play on Kingdom’s nickname Twinkle.
