Burna Boy gets YouTube recognition

Velvety voiced singer , Burna Boy should be one of the happiest Nigerian stars at the moment.

The singer was recently named as YouTube’s ‘artiste on the rise’ as he was featured on Billboards stationed in Times Square, New York, courtesy of the streaming platform.

The YouTube ‘artiste on the rise’ spot helps creators and artistes celebrate and build their audience daily. They get a dedicated spot within the Trending Tab on YouTube’s homepage once they reach a thousand subscribers.

The programme also creates visibility and promotes a diverse line-up of music’s most important new voices across all genres, connecting them with fans worldwide through in-product promotion and programming, out-of-home, social and fan events at YouTube Spaces.

An excited Burna went ahead to write about this on Instagram as Youtube music displayed the video of his latest trending single ‘YE’ at different billboards in Times Square.
