Nigerian singer, Joeboy, has described the latest series of activities coordinated by Afrobeats superstar, Burna Boy, as ‘legendary.’
He opined that the self-acclaimed African Giant has attained legendary status in the industry, and it is largely due to his successes selling out shows and event centres.
Burna Boy carved his name into history by becoming the first African artiste to sell out the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada.
The Last Last crooner who held a show for two days back-to-backat the iconic venue, sold out the tickets on both Saturday, February 24, and Sunday, February 25.
Reacting via Twitter page, Joeboy wrote; “Burna boy is on some legendary doings.”

CorrectNG recalls that Nigerian On-Air-Personality, Daddy Freeze earlier said music superstar, Wizkid is almost on the same level with late Afrobeats legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.
The controversial OAP stated this in a video shared on his social media page while wading into the feud between Wiz and rappers in the industry.
It may be recalled that during an interview with 10 magazine the “Essence” crooner said rap is dead while arguing in favour of Afrobeats dominating the Hip Hop genre.
Subsequently, Wizkid received backlash mostly from Nigerian rap artistes who either responded to him online or released diss raps.
In reaction, Freeze opined that for Wizkid to have made that comment, it comes from a place of objectivity soaked in experience.
He said the Ojuelegba crooner has achieved a lot and should be taken seriously whenever he gives constructive criticisms.
Freeze, who said he is backing Big Wiz further said only a handful of artistes in Nigeria can boast of the achievements attached to Wizkid’s name in the music industry.
“When it comes to music in Nigeria as a whole, Wizkid is almost on the level of Fela then. What he (Wizkid) has been able to do, not many people can achieve it, when he says something, hear him out, there is one thing in me that makes me different from many people I might not like you but if you speak the truth I will support you…
The truth is the truth and it will set you free. When you see the truth and started ignoring the truth because of the person carrying the truth we become like Nigerian politicians, all of them are the same but they will make one look worse than the rest of them,” he said.
