Burna Boy released his latest album, I Told Them..., on August 25, 2023. The album has so far peaked as a chart-topper on the UK album chart. It has also peaked at number 2 on the Dutch album chart.
The singer elaborated on the album's title, stating in an interview with Zane Lowe of Apple Music on August 23, 2023:
"They say a lot of times that prophets is not really recognizing its own home and s**t. So this one is for the part of my own home and the people in my own home who didn’t believe or doubt it, or still doubt, or any type of thing. And not just them, it’s like everyone that ever heard me speak in the past or when I’d first started."
The singer continued:
" You can go back to my old tweets and stuff. I basically predicted everything that’s happening now. So this is basically that. It’s fun to tell people something is true, and they doubt, and then they end up seeing it. There’s no greater feeling."
In support of the album, the singer is set to embark on the newly announced North America tour, which will feature performances in cities such as Toronto, Vancouver, and Boston, among others.
