Burna Boy Signs Deal With Universal/Island Records

Burna Boy has just taken things to the next level by signing a new deal with global brand Island Records, a subsidiary of Universal Music Group. The talented Reggae/Dance-Hall act took to Social Media to make the announcement moments ago and made the bold claim of being the first contemporary Nigerian act to OFFICIALLY sign a deal with the power brand.

The former Aristokrat Records front-runner had been independent since he parted ways with the label sometime last year. This is surely a step in the right direction for an artiste who’s possibly one of the most underrated names in the game. He should be clearing out all the major awards yearly.

Big tins a guan! See BurnaRanking’s InstaGram and Twitter post below…
