When Did Burna Boy Blow up?

Before we answer the question of when did Burna Boy blow up, it’s important to get the background of the issue of Davido calling him a new cat.

Davido recently had an interview with Brut, a French channel in which he spoke about the progress of Afrobeat.

“Everybody knows that I was one of the first, me and Wizkid, so it feels good. It feels good also seeing the new cats coming up. Like Burna Boy, Rema, Fireboy, Mayorkun, a lot of new cats come up killing it – Asake, that’s on my album. So I think the future is Afrobeats,” he said.

“Wizkid and I were the first young artistes to blow up and it feels good seeing new cats like Burna Boy, Rema, Fireboy, Mayorkun and Asake kllling it now”

The phrase new cat quickly took over Twitter as a heated debate popped up over whether can separate himself and Wizkid from Burna Boy as originators of Afrobeats.

Burnaboy did not blow up BIG until 2018. He’s been signing way before that. He had great tracks. He was not even top 6 in 🇳🇬

Tems & Rema blew up 2019. They’ve been singing way before that.

Wizkid & Davido blew up over a decade ago.

Whilst some said he was being disrespectful to Burna Boy. Others agreed and said Davido is right.

That naturally brings up the question of when did Burna Boy blow up?

The first thing most people point to is the fact that Burna Boy released Like to Party in 2012, around the same time Davido was establishing himself.

Burna Boy indeed rose to stardom after releasing “Like to Party” n 2012, the lead single from his debut studio album L.I.F.E (2013).

The song rose him to prominence although at the time Davido and Wizkid had also already started their careers.

The album, L.I.F.E was released on 12 August 2013 and quickly catapulted Burna to stardom as it sold 40,000 copies on the first day of its release.

The album’s release was preceded by five singles: “Like to Party”, “Tonight”, “Always Love You”, “Run My Race”, and “Yawa Dey”.

L.I.F.E was produced entirely by Leriq and features guest appearances from 2face Idibia, M.I Abaga, Timaya, Olamide, Reminisce, and Wizkid, among others. Nigeria Entertainment Today ranked the album 10th on its list of the 12th Best Albums of 2013.

It was also nominated for Best Album of the Year at the 2014 Nigeria Entertainment Awards. In August 2013, L.I.F.E peaked at number seven on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart.

Burna Boy was a star after L.I.F.E released so the answer to the question of when did Burna Boy blow up is 2013 after releasing Like to Party in 2012.

Meanwhile, Davido also blew up around 2012 so Burna Boy is definitely not a new cat!

And then my thoughts, they disappear
And them bad girls them here

But I hope that it’s alright
As I’m here with my niggas
Nothing but girls, drinks and weed

Got drunk and stumbled on two chicks
Say what?
And after two drinks
I woke up in the bed like who’s this

Shebi I been begging but you no wan gree
You saw me talking to Tolani
So you talk say I no be human being, ahn
Say you you no want me

So I’m here with the girl them that like to party and move somebody

So I’m here with the girl them that like to party and move somebody
So I’m here with the girl them that like to party and move somebody
Move it to the left to the right
