Burna Boy Announces Release Of Surprise Album

Nigerian award-winning singer Burna Boy has revealed that he will release a new album in a few hours.

The announcement was made on X in the early hours of July 29, 2024, with the three words "Album dropping 12M" sending fans into a frenzy as they speculated whether it was a hoax by the Grammy winner.

The unexpected statement follows Burna Boy's recent concert at the Koko Camden to commemorate the fifth anniversary of his Grammy-nominated 2019 album 'African Giant'.

While Burna Boy has been consistent in his album releases, releasing five albums in six years, his announcement came as a surprise, with the news seemingly too good to be true.

Some fans believed the announcement was a joke or a purposefully misleading message, especially since an unceremonious album release contrasts with Burna Boy's meticulous preparation and execution during the previous five years. 

The announcement is particularly strange because it is not customary for musicians to release their new materials on a Tuesday.
