Naija’s Burna Boy makes major moves with the launch of Burna Bank in partnership with Spotify

Burna Boy popularly referred to as the African Giant has just launched his own bank, named ‘Burna Bank’.


This marvellous idea to promote the new ‘African Giant’ album was brought to life in collaboration with Spotify, a Swedish digital music service provider.

The bank features a unique ATM machine, specially made to dispense limited Burna notes. The bank was inspired by the artwork of Burna Boy’s latest studio album, ‘African Giant’.

The elated Nigerian star took to social media to announce his partnership with Spotify to help promote his biggest album yet that was released on the 26th of July 2019 as reported by The Sauce.

“The installation features a unique ATM which will be dispensing custom, collectable bills designed by Sajjad Musa. Each bill is inspired by Burna’s Nigerian roots, and his quest to call out corruption and the disproportionate distribution of wealth.”

The 28-year-old went live on Wednesday, August 13, 2019, at 419 Tompkins Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11216 between 6:00 pm and 9:00 pm. The bank will be available for the general public till Sunday, August 18, 2019.

‘African Giant’ is Burna Boy’s fourth studio album. It features top musicians in Africa, UK and US. It also features hits like ‘Anybody’, ‘Collateral Damage’, ‘Dangote’, ‘On The Low’ and ‘Gbona’.

Burna whose real name is Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu has had a fantastic year so far. From performing at the 2019 Coachella Festival to winning major awards including the Best International Act at the 2019 BET Awards held in June as reported by The Sauce as well as headlining his ‘Africa Giant Returns’ tour. As reported by The Sauce, he found love early this year and is currently dating British Jamaican rapper Stefflon Don.
