When one of Africa’s biggest stars steps into the world of sportswear, the impact is felt far beyond music and sport. This month, Burna Boy announced a multi-year partnership with On, the Swiss performance brand known for its innovative footwear and athletic wear.

Unlike a typical celebrity endorsement, this collaboration gives Burna Boy an active role as Clubhouse President. That position puts him at the forefront of Clubhouse Nights, On’s global series that brings tennis, music and art together. Paris has already hosted an edition headlined by Burna Boy, transforming what might have been a tennis showcase into a vibrant cultural event. New York and Miami are next on the schedule.

The campaign reflects Burna Boy’s roots as much as his global influence. Directed by filmmaker Rollo Jackson with set design by Jabez Bartlett, the visuals draw on Nigerian-inspired patterns and objects. This ensures the collaboration is not just stylish but grounded in identity.

For On, originally a brand focused on running, this move signals a clear shift into cultural spaces while keeping performance at its core. For Nigerians, it is another reminder of how homegrown talent is shaping international industries beyond music, from fashion runways to sports arenas.

Burna Boy explained the partnership in his own words: “For me, everything I do comes from the same place: music, sport, community and culture. It is all connected. On gets that. Our partnership is about shaking things up and creating new energy in the world of sports.”

On’s CEO, Martin Hoffmann, added: “We exist to ignite the human spirit through movement, and Burna Boy’s art does exactly that. He does not just make music; he moves communities. Welcoming him is a special moment for us.”

The partnership will roll out through special collections and global events, starting with On’s tennis-inspired line. Expect footwear and apparel that merge On’s performance technology with Burna Boy’s bold style, designed to appeal both on and off the court.

For Nigeria, the deal is bigger than branding. It highlights how Afrobeats and Nigerian creativity continue to redefine global culture. With Burna Boy at the centre of this collaboration, one thing is clear: our stories and styles are no longer on the sidelines, they are leading the game.
