Burna Boy dines with Dangote Aliko Dangote, the billionaire businessman, has hosted Burna Boy and Cecil Hammond, the music executive, at his residence.
Dangote invited the duo to join him for Iftar, the traditional fast-breaking evening meal observed by Muslims during the holy month of Ramadan.
A video from the gathering has gone viral showing the Grammy winner, dressed in a stylish navy blue two-piece outfit and a durag, warmly shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries with Dangote and other guests at the table.
Hammond also took to Instagram to share a photo from the visit, hinting at his role in facilitating the meeting between the two “legends”.
In his caption, he wrote, “Bringing the legends together, one smile at a time”.
This is coming on the heels of another high-profile meeting last week, where billionaire Femi Otedola hosted Burna Boy, Hammond and Wizkid at his residence.
Otedola described the visit as a “true privilege,” highlighting the opportunity to exchange ideas and celebrate the global rise of Afrobeats.
“A true privilege to host some of our biggest music icons,” he wrote.
Burna Boy, who is considered to be among the three most influential musicians in Nigeria, rose to fame after releasing ‘Like to Party’, the lead single from his debut album ‘L.I.F.E’ (2013).
He has since solidified his position in the music industry, winning several awards, including the Grammy Award for ‘Best World Music Album’ in 2021 for his album ‘Twice As Tall’.

He is also the founder and CEO of Flytime Promotions, an entertainment company that organizes music festivals and concerts.
