Burna Boy Announces Eighth Album ‘No Sign of Weakness,’ New Single
Burna Boy announced on Tuesday (Dec. 17) that he will be releasing his eighth studio album, No Sign of Weakness, next year via Spaceship, Bad Habit and Atlantic Records.
He kicked off the album rollout with the release of his new single “Bundle by Bundle” the same day.

The Nigerian star (real name Damini Ogulu) is also set to headline the Stade de France — the largest stadium in the country — in April, marking a major milestone performance for him.
No Sign of Weakness will arrive two years after his last studio album, I Told Them…. The 15-track project featured hit singles “Sittin’ on Top of the World” (with 21 Savage on the remix), “City Boys” and the “Talibans” remix with Byron Messia, and more collaborations with GZA (“I Told Them”), Dave (“Cheat on Me”), Seyi Vibez (“Giza”), RZA (“12 Jewels”) and J. Cole (“Thanks”). It reached No. 31 on the Billboard 200 and No. 2 on World Albums. I Told Them… earned a nomination for best global music album at the 2024 Grammys, while “City Boys” was up for best African music performance in the category’s inaugural year and “Sittin’ on Top of the World,” featuring 21 Savage, was up for best melodic rap performance.
