#jaiyeorie Burna Boy was named the winner of the Edison Award - an award given to people in recognition of their contribution and innovation. Only Youssou N’Dour and Angélique Kidjo ever won.
With the victory, Burna Boy is the first Nigerian artist to win the Edison Award and the third African.
Youssou won in 1994, while Angélique Kidjo won in 2018, and two years after he also defeated Nigerian Burna Boy.
Recognizing the African giant Burne Boy, but also the performer, the Dutch-speaking platform said that Burna’s music is not only a great reminder of Fella’s music, but also a great work that fits seamlessly into today’s pop music culture.

''The Nigerian
Burna Boy is a sensation in world and pop music. His music is
unmistakably African, but fits seamlessly into today's pop music
culture. 'African Giant' contains a challenging mix of Rap, RnB, Reggae
and African pop music and at times recalls the also Nigerian great Fela
Kuti.''
