Recapping His 2023 Album ‘I Told Them…’
Before No Sign Of Weakness, Burna released I Told Them… in August 2023. The album featured major artists like J. Cole, Dave, and 21 Savage, showcasing Burna’s ability to seamlessly collaborate with top-tier U.S. and UK rappers.
It debuted at No. 31 on the Billboard 200, and even though it didn’t top charts in the U.S., it resonated with core fansand international critics. Thematically, I Told Them… was a victory lap—Burna telling doubters that his success was always part of the plan.
Tracks like “Cheat On Me” and “Sittin’ on Top of the World” showed that he wasn’t afraid to experiment with retro samples, deep introspection, and commercial hooks.

- “Sweet Love” returns to Burna’s romantic Afro-fusion roots with warm, mid-tempo vibes.
- “Update” brings political undertones, taking subtle jabs at corrupt systems while maintaining a danceable beat.
