Burna Boy made history over the weekend when he became the first African artist to headline a stadium show in the UK.

A sold-out crowd of 60,000 fans screamed the Grammy award-winner's Afrobeats lyrics back to him at the London Stadium.

Afrobeats - a mix of African and Western influences - has seen a massive rise in popularity over recent years thanks to the likes of Burna Boy and Wizkid.

The pair, two of Nigeria's biggest stars, have headlined some of the world's major music festivals but it was Burna Boy who took it to another level on Saturday night.

Fans danced in the aisles, creating a carnival like atmosphere as he bounced around the stage in a bright orange jumpsuit.
