Burna Boy was one of the standout performers at the Le Gala des Pièces Jaunes 2025, a charity event held at the Paris La Défense Arena on January 23, 2025.
For its third edition, the gala showcased an impressive lineup of international stars, including Katy Perry, Gims, John Legend, Rosé, J-Hope, G-Dragon, and more.
The Arena is a familiar venue for the Nigerian Grammy-winning artist, who has previously sold out the 40,000-capacity space.
At the packed charity concert, Burna Boy captivated the audience with live renditions of some of his biggest hits, which have propelled him to global stardom.

As one of the most-streamed and celebrated artists of 2024, his performance not only highlights his personal achievements but also brings attention to Africa’s rich musical heritage.
The superstar has kicked off 2025 with a bang, recently earning a nomination for the iHeartRadio Music Awards.
Burna Boy is also eyeing his second Grammy Award in February, where he’ll be competing alongside other Nigerian stars in the Best African Music Performance category.
Though Burna Boy released only a few songs in 2024, it was still a massive year for him, as he was named the most exported Nigerian artist on Spotify.
He closed out last year with the release of his single “Bundle By Bundle,” which sets the stage for a busy 2025.
This track, following his earlier release “Higher,” will lead into his upcoming album No Sign of Weakness, slated for release later this year.
