Grammy Awards winner Burna Boy lived up to his billing of one million dollars after a close to two hours thrilling show at the Madfun Xperience at Uhuru Gardens.

The African Giant as his moniker goes, stepped on stage much to the exhilaration of the thousands of fans who had turned up, at 10.45pm and serenaded them until 12.30am, leaving his fans thrilled by his energetic and electrifying performance.

The stage was set on fire by Kenya's Bensoul, Charisma who curtain raised for the star, with the duo flying the Kenyan flag high as Kenyan cheered and sang to their popular tunes.

Rocking a two-piece suit with a snakeskin pattern, which included a blazer-style jacket and matching pants, accessorising sunglasses, bling and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Skeleton Rose Gold worth Sh25.7 million.

Before he jumped on stage, he was seen muttering some prayers, before sipping some water and then jumping on stage.

Burna synchronised with fans in his every song, hit after hit as they sang alongside him much to his elation. The Africa's giant had promised to make it up for his Kenya's fans since he his last performance in the country in 2019.

"Tonight I wanna make it to my fans here in Nairobi, Kenya since I haven't been here since 2019; tonight we gonna party," he told his fluttered fans.

The excitement was taken a notch higher with the "City Boys" hit maker inviting Kenya's Sauti Sol. The group joined Burna Boy on stage to perform their hit song "Time Flies," marking their first live collaboration on the track.

He also had something up his sleeve, as he went on to give a Lambo freestyle and telling the audience to scream "OPUEH". This was seen as a response to socialite Sophia Egbueje's allegations that he reneged on his promise after allegedly sleeping with her. Sophia accused Burna Boy of having a one-night stand with her and failing to fulfill his promise of buying her a Lamborghini.

He was not done yet as he threw his jacket to a female fan and making sure it reached the intended individual before closing the performance with "Last Last".

Earlier on Nairobians living within the vicinity of Uhuru Gardens were affected by the closure of some roads including Langata Link, Carnivore roads, leading major traffic jams as early as 6pm till late in the night after Burna's performance.

Burna's team's stage presence was conspicuous, as he had travelled with an entourage of 61 people, including The Outsiders band, dancers, stylists, and security detail. His team had arrived earlier to set up the sound and performance equipment and did a sound check a day before the day of performance.
