Nigerian music icon Burna Boy recently shared a meal with Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, as they observed the fourth day of Ramadan. The intimate gathering, which was captured in a viral video, also included Flytime Entertainment CEO Cecil Hammond, a major player in Nigeria’s concert industry.

This meeting comes weeks after billionaire Femi Otedola hosted Burna Boy and fellow Grammy winner Wizkid in Lagos. Burna Boy has long admired Dangote, even naming a track after him on his 2019 album African Giant. The singer has also ventured into business, launching a football academy and a film studio as he expands his empire beyond music.

2025 has been a landmark year for Burna Boy. He kicked off the year with a Grammy nomination—his 10th overall—further solidifying his status as Nigeria’s most-nominated artist. He also released Update, the lead single from his upcoming eighth album, No Sign of Weakness, set for release later this year.

Beyond studio work, Burna Boy has been thrilling audiences worldwide. He recently headlined a sold-out show in Nairobi, offering fans a glimpse of his 2025 tour, which includes stops at major venues across Europe and North America. With his influence growing in both music and business, Burna Boy continues to cement his status as one of Africa’s most influential entertainers.
