GRAMMY Award-winning global superstar Burna Boy sat down with Apple Music’s Ebro Darden for an in-depth conversation about his highly anticipated eighth studio album, No Sign of Weakness. The Afrobeats icon shared exclusive details about his groundbreaking collaborations with Shaboozey, Travis Scott, and The Rolling Stones on the new project.
During the revealing interview, Burna Boy discussed the making of “Ta Ta Ta” with Travis Scott, calling their creative synergy undeniable: “After I made this song, I just knew…if I wasn’t going to do it alone, the only person I heard on it was Travis. The energy’s always been amazing with him.”
The conversation took an entertaining turn as they imagined the potential chaos of a Burna Boy x Travis Scott tour: “Imagine all Travis Scott’s fans and all my fans in one place…I feel bad for whoever owns the place,” Burna Boy joked, with Ebro adding, “It wouldn’t work…That’s a one night only event.”
The interview also covered Burna Boy’s instant connection with Shaboozey on “Change Your Mind“, where they bonded over their shared Nigerian heritage despite initially not realizing their cultural ties.
No Sign of Weakness showcases Burna Boy at his most sonically adventurous, blending Afrobeats, hip-hop, and rock influences into what promises to be another global phenomenon. The album is now available on all streaming platforms.
