Burna boy hands out food items to the needy

Nigerian singer,  Burna Boy, was the toast of many in his Childhood Neighbourhood, Port Harcourt recently, after he distributed food stuff to the down trodden in the community.

In a typical act of walking the talk, at a time when lamentation over hunger and hardship has hit an all-time high, Burna Boy stormed the Trans Amadi area with a truck load of food items, personally handing them over to the elderly, the needy and all who approached him for assistance.

Working with his team of project outreach, Burna Boy, whose music cuts across Afro beats, reggae, pop and dancehall, some say may not have chosen a better time to touch lives than now.

His act of compassion did not go unnoticed, as many in the area and beyond, commended his act of  kindness.

Recall that in In November last year, Burna Boy  was nominated for four Grammy awards, making him the most nominated Nigerian artist in Grammy history, with ten total career nominations and the first Nigerian to have nominations in five consecutive years, from 2019 to 2023.

He was named as 2023 most streamed Sub-saharan African artists globally on Spotify, making it his second year in a row. While congratulating African artists for their Grammy nominations, The Recording Academy, described Burna Boy as the biggest artist in Africa.

One of his hits “Sittin’ on Top of the World” received a nomination for Best Melodic Rap Performance at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards. Burna Boy performed the song at the ceremony on 4th February, 2024, alongside Brandy and 21 Savage.
