The Canadian Senate has commended Nigerian Afrobeat sensation Burna Boy for his outstanding achievements and significant impact on the country’s music industry.
The Senate’s recognition comes following Burna Boy’s sensational performances at The Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada, where he drew massive crowds and sold out the venue on two separate occasions.
The Senate meeting session was posted on the X platform where Marcel Lebleu also pointed out a critical issue regarding the lack of adequate consideration given to the cultural and Nollywood industries in Canada.

The announcement of Burna Boy’s commendation by the Canadian Senate sparked a wave of praise and admiration from netizens across various social media platforms.
