Burna Boy's debut studio album L.I.F.E was released on 12 August 2013, serving as the follow-up to his second mixtape Burn Identity (2011). The album sold 40,000 copies on the first day of its release.

L.I.F.E was produced entirely by Leriq and features guest artists such as 2face Idibia, M.I, Timaya, Olamide, Reminisce and Wizkid.[18] Nigeria Entertainment Today ranked the album 10th on its list of the 12th Best Albums of 2013.[19] The album's music draws heavily from the music of Fela Kuti, King Sunny Ade and Bob Marley. It received generally positive reviews from music critics, who applauded its production. It was nominated for Best Album of the Year at the 2014 Nigeria Entertainment Awards.

Outside was supported by six singles: "Rock Your Body", "Streets of Africa", "Koni Baje", "Sekkle Down", "Heaven's Gate" and "Ye". Its production was handled by Leriq, Baba Stiltz, Jae 5, Juls, Chopstix, Steel Banglez, Fred Gibson, Phantom and FTSE. The album received positive critical acclaim and was ranked by Pulse Nigeria and Nigerian Entertainment Today as the best Nigerian album of 2018.[27][28] It won Album of the Year at the 2018 Nigeria Entertainment Awards.[29] In February 2018, Outside debuted at number 3 on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart.[30] The album's biggest single "Ye" ended up atop most Nigerian publications year-end list as the biggest song of 2018.[31][32]
On 7 October 2018, Burna Boy performed before a sold-out crowd at London's O2 Academy Brixton.[33] A day prior to the show, he held a pop-up event at Red by Little Farm and sold limited boxes of his Space Puffs cereal, as well as custom notepads, lighters and graphic tee-shirts.[34] On 9 October 2018, Burna Boy was announced as one of Spotify's New Afro Hub Takeover Artist.[35] The announcement coincided with him being named YouTube's Artist on the Rise for 3 months.[36]

On 21 March 2019, Burna Boy released a 4-track collaborative EP with Los Angeles-based electronic duo DJDS, titled Steel & Copper.[39] It blends Burna Boy's upbeat melodies with DJDS' slinky trap beats.[40][41] Steel & Copper combines elements of dancehall and reggae music with Afropop and trap.[40][41]
On 24 June 2019, Burna Boy won Best International Act at the 2019 BET Awards.[42] In July 2019, Burna Boy was announced as an Apple Music Up Next artist.

In November 2019, Burna Boy became the first Afrobeat artist to sell out the SSE Arena( formerly known as the Wembley arena). He was given a special plaque to mark his achievement.[46]
Burna Boy's fourth studio album African Giant was released on 26 July 2019. It has been supported by six singles: "Gbona", "On the Low", Killin Dem", "Dangote", "Anybody" and "Pull Up". He began recording the album in 2018. He told Billboard magazine the album is his most personal yet.[47] He first revealed plans to release the album in April 2019, and held a private listening session in Los Angeles.[48] Photos and videos from the listening session were shared on social media. African Giant was initially announced as a 16-track album.[48] In order to promote the album, Burna Boy headlined the African Giant Returns tour, the second leg of his African Giant tour.[49] Burna Boy recorded "My Money, My Baby", a track that appeared on Queen & Slim's soundtrack album.[50] Described as an "Afrobeat-tinged track", "My Money, My Baby" contains a sample of Fela Kuti's 1972 song "Shakara".[50]
In April 2020, Burna Boy performed in the One World: Together at Home special.[51]
On 19 June 2020, following the release of multiple singles during early 2020, by himself and on featured credits, Burna Boy was featured on the remix of South African producer Master KG's viral song "Jerusalema".[52] Burna Boy utilized his signature Afrobeats style on the song[53] and also partly sings in the isiZulu language.[52]

On 24 November 2020, Burna Boy album Twice as Tall was nominated under the World Music Album category in the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards alongside other entertainers like Antibalas, Bebel Gilberto, Anoushka Shankar and Tianariwen. This is the second year in a row that Burna Boy is getting a nomination in this category.[57] He won an Edison award in the World Album category for African Giant, and the Best International Act at the MOBO Awards on 9 December, shaking off competition from Drake, Megan Thee Stallion, Lil Baby and Roddy Ricch.[58] At the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards held on March 15, 2021, he won the Grammy for Best Global Music album.

Controversies

In July 2019, Burna Boy posted controversial and threatening tweets after South Africa lost to Nigeria at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.[66] On 28 November 2019, Burna Boy was involved in an altercation with fellow Nigerian musician Davido at a nightclub in Accra, Ghana. The altercation resulted in the night club's bouncers escorting Burna Boy and his entourage out of the building. This was a result of a feud between the two that started over Instagram.[67][68]
Artistry
