Popular musician Burna Boy has announced he will perform in South Africa at the Africa Unite Concert. This comes months after the xenophobic attack on Nigerians living in South Africa.
The attack, which then spurred a series of attacks on South African businesses in Nigeria, saw various celebrities speaking out against the violence. Burna Boy, never one to hold back on his feelings, said he would never step foot in the country until the government fixed the issue.

Burna Boy is presently one of Nigeria’s biggest artistes. Last week, he shut down the London Wembley Arena, becoming the first African artiste to have a sold-out concert. He was thereafter given a plague of recognition after the concert.
