The recent episode of The Tonight Show featured renowned musical artist Burna Boy.
The African Giant performed his smash hit "Last Last" — which recently surpassed 100 million Spotify streams — and also had a lighthearted conversation with host Jimmy Fallon. During his appearance, he also attempted to teach Fallon his famed signature Afro Moonwalk dance move, a tutorial that social media users were amused by. When Fallon asked the singer how he had come up with his stage name, Burna Boy responded by saying that he was a fan of comic books in his younger years, and at a certain point, he wanted to be a superhero and this inspired the moniker.
