"Now THAT'S how security should work! Look at the formation, guy in green my favorite jumping obstacles. Everybody else zeros in on you in 1.0 seconds," opined one fan.

"Nah that’s fake cause you can’t be on stage with heelys," insinuated one fan.

"Sorry for the laugh," tweeted another.

Burna Boy didn't even give his fans twenty-four hours to calm their nerves as he declared the release date of his new album just hours before its supposed release. In the afternoon of July 29, the African singer posted a tweet that said that his seventh album would be released today (July 29) at midnight.

However, nothing is yet known about the album name, special guests, or the tracklist. Burna Boy's sixth studio album, Love Damini, was one of the most successful albums of his career and became the highest-grossing Nigerian Album on the Billboard 200 chart.

The song also became the top-ranked chartbuster in France, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. In fact, the singer was felicitated with a host of accolades the next year as Rolling Stone ranked him 197th in the list of 200 Greatest Singers of All Time.

He was also honored with the Member of the Order of the Federal Republic plaque for his art.
