Burna Boy Davido Wizkid: How Nigerian Stars Generates Millions of Dollar From International Concerts 2p4nl

The resumption of social events like dining out and musical performances in 2021 was a result of the relaxation of lockdowns and social seclusion. Afro-beats and Nigerian musicians have had a revival in recent years due to a type of worldwide demand.

Nigerian music has gained popularity among other people, particularly non-native English speakers, since CKay‘s “Love Nwantiti” and Wizkid‘s “Essence” went viral on the video content platform TikTok.

The three most popular musicians in Nigeria, Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Davido, took advantage of this by holding performances at the O2 Arena.

The naming partner of the stadium, O2, revealed in May 2020 that it had plans to reopen with a series of “Welcome Back” concerts that will play to packed houses in the arena for the first time since the global pandemic occurred in March 2020.
