Burna Boy brought the house down—literally—at the Lionesses’ victory parade in London. What was meant to be a regular celebration for England’s women’s team turned into a star-studded moment when the Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar stepped out unannounced, leaving fans and even coach Sarina Wiegman in total shock. The team had just clinched back-to-back UEFA Women’s Euros titles, but it was Burna Boy’s surprise that truly stole the show.
Thousands filled the streets as the Lionesses rolled through central London in an open-top bus, waving to cheering fans. Their final stop? Buckingham Palace. But no one expected what came next.

When former footballer Alex Scott took the mic and revealed that Burna Boy was about to perform, Wiegman couldn’t hide her emotions. “Oh no way!” she blurted out, before rushing over to embrace him. Burna Boy then serenaded the crowd with “For My Hand,” a track Wiegman once called her most played song of 2023.
For a moment, football met Afrobeats magic. Wiegman danced with joy while players laughed, cheered, and took photos of the unforgettable scene.
Team captain Leah Williamson also got emotional, telling fans it was “one of the best things we’ve been a part of.”
Singer Heather Small later delivered a powerful performance of her song “Proud,” which had become a locker-room anthem throughout the tournament.
To top it all off, Disney+ was announced as the new exclusive home for all UEFA Women’s Champions League matches in Europe.
An unforgettable day, sealed with music, pride, and Burna Boy vibes.
