In a momentous collaboration, the globally acclaimed GRAMMY
award-winning superstar, Burna Boy,
joined forces with the multi-platinum
artist, 21 Savage, to create an exceptional music video for their hit single,
“Sittin’ On Top Of The World.”
The music video made its grand debut on a Monday, and the world
eagerly embraced it with resounding ovation. “Sittin’ On Top Of The
World,” produced by the talented Skread, ingeniously incorporated a sample
from Brandy’s 1998 smash hit, “Top Of the World,” featuring Mase. The
track, accompanied by a visually captivating summer anthem, evoked a sense of
nostalgia with its timeless 90s/early 00s vibe.
Directed by the visionary Troy Roscoe, the music video was a
visual spectacle shot against the backdrop of the iconic city of London, UK. As
the video unfolded, viewers were treated to an array of stunning women, classic
cars, and vibrant graphics, all expertly crafted to transport them back in
time.
In “Sittin’ On Top Of The World,” Burna Boy showcased
a new dimension of his artistry, revealing his romantic side as he expressed
his desire to shower his special lady with opulent gifts and experiences. This
heartfelt portrayal added yet another layer to Burna Boy’s versatility and
artistic range.
The release of this track was perfectly timed, coinciding with
Burna Boy’s four BET Awards nominations. His outstanding talents were
recognized in categories such as Best Male R&B/Pop Artist, Video Director
of the Year, Viewer’s Choice Award, and Best International Artist. This
remarkable achievement extended Burna Boy’s streak of nominations to an
impressive five consecutive years, cementing his status as a true force in the
music industry.
To further solidify his dominance and undeniable influence,
Burna Boy secured the highly coveted BET “Best International Act”
award for an unprecedented fourth time. This remarkable feat marked a historic
moment for African artists as Burna Boy became the first-ever recipient of such
a prestigious honor. With this achievement, he etched his name in the annals of

The world eagerly awaits Burna Boy’s next move as he continues
