Burna Boy and Ayra Starr feature on Barack Obama’s playlist

Afrobeats artists Burna Boy and Ayra Starr have taken Afrobeats to the world with their craft, and it’s another proud moment for Afrobeats lovers. The internationally recognized artists earned a slot on the 2023 Summer playlist of the former president of the United States of America Barack Obama, and their fans have taken to their social media accounts to celebrate their faves.

The 44th US President Barack Obama released his highly anticipated annual summer playlist on Thursday, July 20, 2023, and as expected, some Afrobeats songs made the cut. ‘Sittin’ On Top of The World’ by Burna Boy featuring American rapper 21 Savage, and ‘Sability’ by Ayra Starr was part of the songs on the playlist.

Like I do every year, here are some songs I’ve been listening to this summer — a mix of old and new. Look forward to hearing what I’ve missed. pic.twitter.com/H2Do2iaD1p
