Nigerian music luminary, Damini Ogulu, professionally known as Burna Boy, has been heralded among TIME Magazine’s esteemed 100 Most Influential People for the year 2024.
The tribute for Ogulu’s induction into this prestigious roster was penned by none other than the revered Beninese vocalist, Angelique Kidjo, whose words echoed the sentiment that Burna Boy has been instrumental in propelling African music onto the world stage.
With a nod to his profound connection to Nigerian musical heritage and a respectful nod to the towering legacy of Fela Kuti, Kidjo articulated, “Burna Boy has transcended borders, elevating African music to unprecedented heights. He epitomizes a living legacy in motion.”
The TIME 100 Most Influential People accolade is a testament to Ogulu’s multifaceted impact, spanning realms of artistry, advocacy, and cultural resonance.
This monumental recognition follows closely on the heels of Burna Boy’s inclusion in Essence Magazine’s inaugural roster of “Sexiest Men Of The Moment,” underscoring his enduring appeal and global relevance.
