Award-winning Nigerian singer Burna Boy has addressed the confusion surrounding the release of his highly anticipated eighth studio album.
The artist initially suggested the album would drop at midnight, which led many to believe it would be available on July 30.
On July 29, Burna Boy announced via social media, “Album dropping by 12am,” which caused surprise and disappointment among fans when the album did not release as expected.
Ladies and gentlemen, A valuable lesson on paying attention to detail. I said 12am, I never said what date. No be say I whine una o Na una Lose guard https://t.co/RMbnL8LPwe

In a follow-up post on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, Burna Boy clarified the situation, stating he never specified the exact release date, only the time.
He emphasised that the announcement should serve as “a valuable lesson to pay attention to detail.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, A valuable lesson on paying attention to detail. I said 12am, but I never said what date. No be say I whine una o Na una Lose guard,” Burna Boy wrote.
The singer recently celebrated the fifth anniversary of his Grammy-nominated 2019 album African Giant. Born Damini Ogulu, Burna Boy rose to fame with his debut album L.I.F.E (2013) and has since released seven albums, including Twice As Tall (2020) and Love, Damini (2022).
His achievements include winning the Grammy Award for Best World Music Album and being named one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people for 2024. Additionally, he recently became the first African artist to achieve two billion streams across platforms in the United Kingdom.
