Burna Boy, one of Nigeria’s leading Afrobeats exports, has secured a nomination in the Best International Male Artist category at the 2025 BreakTudo Awards, standing as the only African artist in the prestigious global lineup.
The BreakTudo Awards, hosted in Brazil, unveiled their full roster of nominees on September 9, 2025, featuring a glittering array of global stars.
Burna Boy joins hip-hop icons and mainstream figures such as Ed Sheeran, The Weeknd, Bad Bunny, Kendrick Lamar, and Jimin in the international male category.
This nomination continues Burna Boy’s impressive run on the global awards circuit. In 2023, he made history as the most-nominated Nigerian artist at the Grammys and later became the first African to win a Billboard Music Award in the Top Afrobeats Artist category.
His presence on the BreakTudo Awards list further underscores the growing recognition of African art and sounds on the international stage.
Voting for the awards begins on September 10, with fans around the world invited to support their favorite acts through the BreakTudo platform.
