Burna Boy Hosts Electrifying First Met Gala After-Party at Boom – The Night Was a “Big Family Setting”! (See the Photos!)

The Met Gala on Monday, May 5th, 2025, was a dazzling display of fashion and artistry, but the night truly came alive at the exclusive after-parties that followed. This year, Afrofusion icon Burna Boy hosted his inaugural Met Gala after-party at the legendary Boom at The Standard High Line, and by all accounts (and the stunning photos!), it was an unforgettable “big family setting” filled with music, laughter, and A-list glamour.

Burna Boy teamed up with South African music maestro Black Coffee to curate an intimate yet vibrant gathering that felt more like a reunion of global cultural heavyweights than a typical high-profile affair. Describing the atmosphere as a “big family setting,” Burna Boy welcomed friends, collaborators, and influential figures from across the world to celebrate after the main event.


Photos emerging from the exclusive party paint a picture of a night where the energy was high and the vibes were immaculate. Stars like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Lupita Nyong’o, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, Shaboozey, and Central Cee were spotted mingling and enjoying the Afrobeat sounds that filled the room.


One striking detail captured in several images is the microphone Burna Boy used throughout the night, engraved with the powerful words “No sign of weakness.” This isn’t just a favorite phrase of his; it’s also the title of his highly anticipated upcoming eighth album, adding another layer of significance to the evening.


The atmosphere was electric, with Burna Boy himself, along with rapper Central Cee and Shaboozey, even joining Black Coffee behind the decks at one point, treating guests to impromptu performances and DJ sets that kept the dance floor packed.


Attendees, some still radiating in their Met Gala couture while others opted for more comfortable, party-ready ensembles, let loose and enjoyed the unique blend of high fashion and infectious African rhythms. The photos capture genuine moments of connection and celebration, highlighting the unifying power of music and good company.


Hosting such a prominent Met Gala after-party solidifies Burna Boy’s position as a global cultural force, seamlessly bridging the worlds of music, fashion, and art. It was a night that not only celebrated the creativity showcased at the Met Gala but also highlighted the vibrant energy and global influence of African music.
