Burna Boy continues to solidify his global dominance as his hit single ‘City Boys’ has officially been certified Gold in the United Kingdom. The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) announced the certification after the song surpassed 400,000 units in sales, marking yet another milestone in the Nigerian superstar’s illustrious career.

Released as part of Burna Boy’s seventh studio album, ‘I Told Them…’, the energetic and braggadocious track quickly became a fan favourite. With its infectious production and catchy lyrics, ‘City Boys’ resonated with audiences worldwide, becoming a staple in clubs and playlists across multiple continents. The track, produced by MD$, Ruuben, and Burna Boy himself, showcases his signature fusion of Afrobeats, Hip-Hop, and Dancehall influences.
