<h2>In 2018, Burna Boy soared to international success after his single&nbsp;'YE'&nbsp;came to the attention of rap fans who were searching for Kanye West's new album of the same name.</h2>

With his career on a fast rise internationally, Burna Boy released his fourth album&nbsp;'African Giant'&nbsp;in 2019 which charted a new course for African music internationally.

Buoyed by the hit singles&nbsp;'On The Low', 'Gbona', 'Dangote', 'Killing Dem',&nbsp;and&nbsp;'Anybody',&nbsp;the album soared to both local and international success.

Five years after its release,&nbsp;'African Giant'&nbsp;has now been declared platinum in France by SNEP after exceeding over 500,000 units in sales.

The certification owes a lot to the success of<a href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/burna-boys-gbona-receives-platinum-certification-in-france/wxv14c6">&nbsp;'On The Low'&nbsp;and 'Gbona' which have earned platinum certifications in France</a>.

'African Giant'&nbsp;is now the only Nigerian album to be declared platinum after sharing the SNEP gold record with Rema's debut album&nbsp;'Raves &amp; Roses'.

In 2023, Burna Boy's hit single<a href="https://www.pulse.ng/entertainment/music/last-last-receives-diamond-certification-in-france/3cbzq95">&nbsp;'Last Last'&nbsp;was declared diamond by SNEP </a>in what was another testament of his international success.
