Burns Boy set to perform alongside Coldplay’s Chris Martin at 2020 BET Hip-Hop Awards ceremony

Multi-award-winning Nigerian Afro-fusion musician, two-time recipient of BET’s Best International Act award and MTV Europe Music Award’s Best African Act, Burna Boy, has been announced as a performer for the 2020 BET Hip-Hop Awards Ceremony.



The home-grown international music star, who has also recently been nominated for “Best African Act” at the upcoming 2020 MTV European Music Awards, a title he took home last year, is to mark his first-ever live performance with Coldplay’s Chris Martin on their powerful collaboration in the track “Monsters You Made,” taken off Burna’s fifth studio album, TWICE AS TALL.


‘Monsters You Made’ is a song that serves an indictment on miseducation, historical injustice and systemic racism and Coldplay’s Chris Martin’s hauntingly poignant voice laces through the song, challenging what we think we already know about Africa and her history.

  Bitcoin and altcoins are likely to remain range-bound in the short-term as the bulls and the bears attempt to assert their dominance. 13677 69 0:00 Price analysis 8/26: BTC, ETH, XRP, LINK, BCH, LTC, BSV, CRO, BNB, ADA PRICE ANALYSIS On Thursday, U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell is expected to deliver an important speech that will highlight a new strategy of targeting “average inflation.” This means that the Fed might allow inflation to overshoot the 2% target temporarily if it has spent a long time below that level. If the Fed adopts this new strategy, it could keep interest rates near zero for five years or more, according to a Bloomberg report.
