Burna Boy's 'Update' and 'Love' Medley Brings No Sign of Weakness to The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon.
The Nigerian superstar brought his signature energy to The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, teaming up with dancers, musicians, and a live band for an unforgettable medley performance of his latest singles "Update" and "Love." The high-profile event marked the first and last single releases of 2025, bookending Burna Boy's critically acclaimed album "No Sign of Weakness."
As the stage lights shone bright on Burna Boy, he jammed alongside a troupe of disco dancers in shimmering silver jumpsuits, three backing vocalists, and an eight-piece band. The infectious beats from "Update" got everyone moving, with Burna Boy singing about optimism for the new year: "On a normal day, them no fit touch my energy." Similarly uplifting was "Love," which featured wise reminders like "No go dey live your life to impress anybody" and "Never buy a dream if it's sold to you."
The Tonight Show, usually airing on weekdays, made an exception this weekend for an episode featuring guests Millie Bobby Brown and Kenan Thompson. Burna Boy's performance was the perfect addition to the show.
Burna Boy is nearing the end of his world tour in support of "No Sign of Weakness," which will continue with stops in Atlanta, Orlando, Newark, Montréal, and Toronto throughout the remainder of the month before resuming in January with performances across Europe. The tour has been a testament to Burna Boy's discipline, both on and off stage.
"Touring teaches me how connected people are through rhythm. It doesn’t matter where you are, when that bass hits right, the reaction is the same," Burna Boy shared earlier this year with Rolling Stone Australia. "Touring this hard teaches you discipline in a new way... Every city adds something to the album that didn’t exist before; it’s like the songs keep evolving in real time."
