In surprising news, Nigerian megastar Burna Boy has announced that he will be dropping a new album on July 30, 2024. This revelation, made on his X (formerly Twitter) account in the early hours of July 29, 2024, came with a brief message: “Album dropping 12M.” This announcement has sent fans into a state of euphoria, eagerly anticipating the release and wondering if it’s a prank from the Grammy winner.
Burna Boy’s announcement follows his recent celebration of the fifth anniversary of his Grammy-nominated 2019 album *African Giant*, marked by a concert at the Koko Camden. Known for his consistent output, with five albums in six years, this unceremonious and sudden album release seems uncharacteristic of the meticulous planning Burna Boy has shown in the past.
Some fans have speculated that the announcement might be a prank or a deliberately ambiguous message, particularly since it’s unusual for artists to release new material on a Tuesday. However, Burna Boy’s recent activities, including the release of his single “Higher,” in which he expresses gratitude for his success and takes an emotional trip back to his hometown of Port Harcourt, suggest that he may be ready to surprise his audience with a new project.
Regardless of the speculation, fans will be eagerly waiting to see if a new Burna Boy album will indeed drop at midnight on July 30, 2024.
