The crowd erupted as tracks like his recent smash Last Last filled the arena. But the night took an even more historic turn when Burna Boy surprised the audience by bringing out none other than legendary R&B singer Tony Braxton to perform the song with him live. Their collaborative rendition of Last Last was a powerful moment as Tony Braxton had been out of the music scene since 2013 due to an illness.
