Ogasabi reports on the 9am news that Burna Boy’s announcement on X (formerly Twitter) on July 29, 2024, with the words “Album dropping 12M,” has left fans in a euphoric state. Many are wondering if it’s a prank from the Grammy winner. This comes shortly after Burna Boy celebrated the fifth anniversary of his Grammy-nominated 2019 album ‘African Giant.’ Despite his consistent album releases, having released five albums in six years, this announcement caught fans by surprise, making the news seem almost too good to be true.
On the 9am news Nigeria, Ogasabi highlights that some fans believe the announcement might be a joke or a purposefully misleading message. This skepticism arises because an unceremonious album release starkly contrasts with Burna Boy’s meticulous preparation and execution seen over the past five years. Additionally, the announcement is especially odd since artists rarely release new material on Tuesdays.
Earlier in 2024, Burna Boy released the tune ‘Higher,’ where he expressed gratitude for his achievements in a music video featuring an emotional trip back to his hometown of Port Harcourt. As fans eagerly await the stroke of midnight on July 30, 2024, they remain hopeful to confirm if a new Burna Boy album will indeed be released.
Stay tuned to the 9am news for updates on Burna Boy’s announcement and whether a new album will drop, as fans continue to anticipate this exciting possibility.
