The Big7 has done it again. Burna Boy’s infectious banger “City Boys” just scored platinum certification in France, making it his ninth song to achieve this coveted milestone—a record-breaking feat for any Nigerian artist.
Released as part of his genre-blending album “I Told Them…”, “City Boys” has been a global anthem, lighting up clubs from Lagos to Paris with its signature swagger, streetwise lyricism, and undiluted Naija energy. The platinum plaque in France means the single has crossed over 30 million streams, further solidifying Burna’s place as Nigeria’s most internationally recognized music export.
With nine certified songs in France, #BurnaBoy stands alone at the top—no other Nigerian act comes close. His run includes smash hits like “On the Low,” “Ye,” “Last Last,” and “Gbona,” each one pushing Afro-fusion deeper into the global mainstream.
Burna’s French connection isn’t accidental. He’s headlined sold-out concerts in Paris, worked with Francophone artists, and continues to build bridges across continents with his sound. In a music industry where platinum means prestige, impact, and power, Burna is stacking plaques like a Lagos landlord.
From the trenches of Port Harcourt to the bright lights of Europe, Burna Boy’s journey is pure motivation. With “City Boys” going platinum, he’s redrawing the map entirely, showing the world that Naija music is a force no border can contain.
Odogwu no dey rest. Nine times platinum in France? E clear—Burna Boy is the blueprint, and the City Boys are running global streets.
