However, it was Burna Boy's inclusion that caught the attention of many, showcasing his global appeal and influence.

Rivea Ruff, Entertainment Editor at Essence, highlighted Burna Boy's unique allure, stating, "Beyond the obvious physical attributes, Burna Boy's appeal lies in his distinctly African swag. His voice and presence command the stage, he has impeccable style, and is always perfectly groomed and iced out. Ladies love it!"
