Burna Boy Shines on 'The Tonight Show' with Upbeat Medley of "Update" and "Love"
Nigerian superstar Burna Boy brought his signature energy to the stage of 'The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon', performing a medley of his latest singles, "Update" and "Love". The two songs, which marked the beginning and end of 2024 for Burna Boy, respectively, showcased his optimism and message of self-love.
Alongside an eight-piece band, three backing vocalists, and two disco dancers in shimmering silver jumpsuits, Burna Boy's performance was a masterclass in musical energy. He sang with conviction on "Update", delivering lines like "On a normal day, them no fit touch my energy" that left the audience mesmerized. Similarly, his message of love and self-empowerment resonated with all who watched, with lyrics such as "No go dey live your life to impress anybody" and "Never buy a dream if it's sold to you".
The performance was a fitting celebration of Burna Boy's latest album, 'No Signs of Weakness', which marked his first full-length release since 2023's 'I Told Them'... and 2022's 'Love, Damini'. As he embarks on the final stretch of shows on his world tour, Burna Boy's music continues to inspire and uplift audiences around the globe.
The Tonight Show made an exception to its usual Sunday airtime schedule for this episode, which also featured guests Millie Bobby Brown and Kenan Thompson. The show will resume on December 8th in Atlanta with additional stops scheduled throughout the month, followed by a series of performances across Europe in January.
Burna Boy's message of touring as a means of connection is evident once again. As he noted earlier this year, "Touring teaches me how connected people are through rhythm... Every city adds something to the album that didn’t exist before; it’s like the songs keep evolving in real time." The discipline and routine required for his world tour have undoubtedly honed his skills as a performer, and his music continues to thrive as a result.
