This honour not only uplifts my journey, but also shines a brilliant light on our rich cultural heritage, bridging generations and genres worldwide.”

To Oluwa Burna and every music lover embracing our story – thank you for believing in the magic of Fuji. Thank you for believing in Africa’s ingenious creativity.

Burna Boy’s Love for Fuji Music
This is not the first time Burna Boy has expressed his love for Fuji music. In 2023, during an Instagram live session, he described Saheed Osupa as “Ibile Wutang,” a tag that captures the Fuji icon’s lyrical depth.
At his 34th birthday party in July 2025, his mother and manager, Mrs Bose Ogulu, surprised him with a guest performance by Fuji music icon Adewale Ayuba.
