Burna Boy Hits A New Milestone As The Only African Musician With The Highest-Grossing American Venue
Burna Boy, the Nigerian megastar, keeps achieving extraordinary exploits that stretch the bounds of African music’s ability to be commercially successful worldwide.
Burna Boy accomplishes another incredible achievement by becoming the African musician with the top grossing venue in the US. According to a Touring Data report on X, Burna Boy’s 2024 performance at Boston’s TD Garden Arena brought in $1.593 million, breaking his previous African record that he had established at Madison Square Garden in 2022.
For his historic performance, Burna Boy sold out Boston’s 19,000-seat TD Arena Garden, one of the 22 locations on his ‘I Told Them’ Tour, which has already brought in $11,659,531 from 11 confirmed gigs.

Burna Boy’s historic achievement confirms his place as the world’s top African artist. With the release of his smash song “YE” in 2018, Burna Boy shot to prominence, an unparalleled feat for an African musician. With “On The Low” and “Last Last,” The African Giant, as he is affectionately known, is the only Nigerian musician to have two Diamond hits in France.
His fourth album, “African Giant,” which is nominated for a Grammy, is the first in Nigerian history to be awarded a platinum plaque in France. With ten nominations, Burna Boy claims to be the Nigerian artist with the most Grammy awards. In February 2024, he created history by becoming the first African musician to perform at the 66th edition of Grammy Awards’ main ceremony.
