Nigerian Afrobeats powerhouse Burna Boy has made history by becoming the first Nigerian artist to surpass four billion total views on YouTube, setting a historic new milestone for the country’s music industry.
The Grammy-winning global icon, whose real name is Damini Ogulu, officially crossed the monumental threshold on Thursday, September 3, 2026. He accumulated more than 4.02 billion views on his official YouTube channel, which currently boasts a massive community of over 7.21 million subscribers.
This latest digital achievement highlights the continuous international expansion of his music and his dominant online audience.
Over his illustrious career, Burna Boy has systematically built an extensive catalogue of high-budget music videos and digital content that consistently pull in millions of views from across the globe. Some of his most-viewed blockbuster tracks leading the charge on the platform include:
“On The Low”
“Ye”
“Last Last”
“For My Hand”
This four-billion-view breakthrough builds directly upon the singer’s previous trailblazing track record on the platform. Back in 2021, Burna Boy shattered digital records by becoming the first-ever Nigerian artist to cross the one billion views mark on YouTube.
