The UEFA Champions League have announced that the “Common Person” crooner will perform at the final of this year’s competition.

Burna boy is not the first Nigerian act to perform at a major sports event. Davido performed at the World Cup final in Qatar 2022, and Wizkid also performed at the World Tennis League in Dubai.
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen is the only Nigeria that is left in the Champions League this season. He scored two goals to guide Napoli to their first quarterfinal.
Napoli will know their opponents when the draws take place on Friday.
