Burna Boy Drops Explosive New Single ‘Tatata’ Ahead of Album No Sign of Weakness
Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar Burna Boy has officially kicked off the rollout of his highly anticipated eighth studio album No Sign of Weakness with the release of his latest single Tatata, now available on all major streaming platforms. The track, unveiled today, blends high-energy Brazilian funk rhythms with Nigerian pidgin and a slick pop-rap flow, showcasing Burna Boy’s trademark ability to fuse global sounds into a cohesive Afro-fusion masterpiece.
Tatata marks a daring creative leap, sonically rooted in the infectious bounce of Brazilian funk while lyrically laced with provocative references. Burna Boy doesn’t shy away from controversy, name-dropping Equatorial Guinea’s infamous public official Baltasar Engonga—who gained global notoriety for a scandal involving leaked sex tapes. The reference adds an edge to a song already brimming with attitude and bold storytelling.
Adding an extra layer of star power, American rap heavyweight Travis Scott joins Burna Boy on the track, delivering a swagger-filled verse that matches the song’s raw energy. Travis’s contribution injects Tatata with a punch of American trap bravado, further amplifying its global appeal and signaling another genre-blending win for Burna Boy’s discography.
The release of Tatata follows Burna Boy’s reggae-leaning single Sweet Love, a melodic, emotionally rich offering that has added momentum to the buzz around No Sign of Weakness. Earlier this year, he dropped Bundle By Bundle, a gritty anthem celebrating hustle culture that has already racked up over 24 million streams on Spotify and more than 8.5 million views on YouTube.
Beyond the studio, Burna Boy has been making headlines with milestone achievements on the global stage. Just weeks ago, he became the first African artist to headline and sell out the historic Stade de France. This monumental feat coincided with his debut as the first-ever cover star of Billboard France, further solidifying his status as a global music icon.
In another landmark performance, Burna Boy also sold out the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, the largest indoor venue in the UK. These back-to-back successes reinforce his unmatched ability to command both African and international audiences with a sound that defies borders.
Adding to his recent string of collaborations, Burna Boy appeared on the remix of 4 Kampé alongside French-Haitian artist Joé Dwèt Filé. The track fused Afrobeats and Kompa into a vibrant cross-cultural anthem that continues to chart worldwide.
With Tatata now setting the tone for what’s to come, the anticipation for No Sign of Weakness, set to drop on July 11, 2025, has reached a fever pitch. The single is yet another reminder that Burna Boy remains at the forefront of global music innovation, delivering artistry with flair, fearlessness, and a sound that resonates across continents.
