In a thrilling twist, Nigerian music sensation Burna Boy has just announced a surprise album set to drop on July 30, 2024.
The shocking news was revealed early on July 29, 2024, when Burna Boy took to X (formerly Twitter) with a brief but impactful message: “Album dropping 12M.” The announcement sent fans into a frenzy, with many wondering if the Grammy-winning artist was teasing an elaborate prank or if this was a genuine reveal.

Renowned for his groundbreaking contributions to global music and his record-breaking concerts, Burna Boy’s sudden announcement comes on the heels of his recent celebration marking the fifth anniversary of his critically acclaimed 2019 album, African Giant. This milestone was marked with a memorable concert at Koko Camden.
While Burna Boy has been known for his steady stream of releases—five albums in six years—this unorthodox approach to announcing a new album has left fans questioning the timing. Typically, artists release new music on Fridays, making this Tuesday release an unusual choice. Moreover, Burna Boy is known for his meticulous planning, making this sudden drop even more intriguing.
Earlier this year, Burna Boy released the single “Higher,” an uplifting track accompanied by a touching music video set in his hometown of Port Harcourt.
As anticipation builds, fans are eagerly counting down the hours to see if Burna Boy’s surprise will live up to the hype.
