As songs like his most recent hit, Last Last, filled the arena, the fans went wild. But when Burna Boy shocked the crowd by inviting none other than the late great R&B singer Tony Braxton to perform the song live with him, the evening took an even more historic turn. Due to a medical condition, Tony Braxton had not been involved in the music industry since 2013. Therefore, their joint performance of Last Last was particularly moving.
