What was initially believed to be an April Fool’s Day joke turned out to be just that – a prank.
Burna Boy and J Hus have previously collaborated, showcasing a seamless blend of their artistic talents.
In recent news, Burna Boy disclosed that he and J Hus fabricated the announcement of their joint project slated for release in 2024 as part of an April Fool’s Day prank.
Burna Boy confirmed the prank in a post on social media, labeling it as “the best April Fool in a while”.

The news of the collaborative EP was initially shared by a Burna Boy fan account on April 1st, with Burna Boy’s official handle echoing the announcement. J Hus also contributed to the prank by quoting Burna Boy’s post, adding to the authenticity of the announcement.
While Burna Boy had previously hinted at the possibility of a joint project with J Hus in 2022, following the release of his Grammy-nominated album ‘Love, Damini’, this recent revelation confirms it as a prank.
