The setlist included songs from both his previous albums and his latest releases, highlighting his evolution as an artist.

Burna Boy expressed his gratitude to the fans during the concert, stating, “This is more than just a tour; it’s a celebration of our culture, our roots, and our unity. Thank you for coming out to support and dance with me!”
