This comes barely few weeks after he was presented with a Brit 1 billion streams plaque at his sold-out show at the London Stadium last month. Receiving his Brit 2 billion streams plaque, Burna Boy revealed that he fought for it. He said, 'Thank you very much. I appreciate you. Ehen, now that's it. You've to fight for your right.
' One of the presenters inferred: 'You already have it. You don't need to fight.' Burna Boy rebuffed: 'No. You know, we have to fight for our rights.'
