Grammy award-winning global star Burna Boy has unveiled his highly anticipated eighth studio album, No Sign of Weakness, with the release of the new single, ‘Tatata’.
The track combines lively Brazilian funk rhythms with Nigerian Pidgin English and a pop-rap style.
In ‘Tatata’, Burna Boy makes reference to Equatorial Guinea public official Baltasar Engonga, who recently made headlines amid a scandal involving a substantial collection of sex tapes.
American rapper Travis Scott features on the song, delivering a confident rap verse that complements Burna Boy’s message with bold lyrics.
‘Tatata’ follows the release of Burna Boy’s reggae single ‘Sweet Love’, which continues to generate excitement ahead of the album launch.

Last month, Burna Boy became the first African artist to grace the cover of Billboard France, coinciding with his historic sold-out performance at Stade de France.
He also made history by selling out Manchester’s Co-op Arena, England’s largest indoor venue.
