Burna Boy is one of the biggest superstars in the world. He sells out arenas globally, yet his album sales don’t match his live performance dominance. Why is that?

In this episode of Cloud Crusade, Nenebi Tony takes you on a deep dive into the economics of music streaming in Africa and how it impacts global artists like Burna Boy. From the dominance of Boomplay and Audiomack to the cultural dynamics of Afrobeat in the U.S., this episode unpacks why Burna’s audience listens to his music—but isn’t buying albums.

Plus, Nenebi shares a personal story about his early career in media, his first major business failure, and the lessons he learned about marketing, cultural awareness, and entrepreneurship.

Why do African artists dominate live performances but struggle with album sales? What does this tell us about the future of music consumption? And did Nenebi overreact to a kitchen argument that changed his life?
