News About Nigeria reports that the Grammy award-winning artist shared the news via his official X account on Monday, sending waves of excitement across the music community.
The forthcoming album, whose title remains undisclosed, follows closely on the heels of Burna Boy’s celebratory anniversary concert for his critically acclaimed third studio album, ‘African Giant.’
