Grammy-award-winning singer Burna Boy has been named to Essence magazine’s list of the ‘Sexiest Men Of The Moment’. 

The exclusive lineup, featured in the inaugural issue of Essence’s ‘Sexiest Men Of The Moment’ magazine, is headlined by British actor Damson Idris.

Essence‘s entertainment editor, Rivea Ruff, emphasised Burna Boy’s allure, attributing it to his physical appeal, distinct African style, and commanding presence on stage.

“Beyond the obvious physical attributes, Burna Boy’s appeal lies in his distinctly African swag. His voice and presence command the stage, he has impeccable style, and is always perfectly groomed and iced out. Ladies love it!” said the editor.

Burna Boy is the sole representative of Afrobeats artistes on the list.

The list includes personalities like Usher, Trevante Rhodes, Daniel Kaluuya, Colman, and Skepta.
