Nigerian music star Burna Boy has become the first Nigerian and Sub-Saharan African artist to surpass 4 billion total views on YouTube.
His official YouTube channel now holds over 4.02 billion views, with 7.21 million subscribers, according to platform data.
The milestone is driven by the enduring popularity of several breakout singles, including “Ye,” “On The Low,” “Last Last,” “For My Hand” featuring Ed Sheeran, and “Die Dai” featuring Shakira, which became a global chart success.
The record extends Burna Boy’s history of streaming milestones. In 2021, he became the first Nigerian artist to cross 1 billion YouTube views. He later became the first African artist to surpass 4 billion streams as a lead artist on Spotify and the first to scale past a 900 million monthly audience footprint on YouTube Music.
The achievement cements his position as the most-streamed Nigerian artist across multiple digital platforms.
His YouTube channel continues to gain views daily, with the total expected to rise as his 2026 releases, including “Die Dai,” maintain global rotation.
