The camera took turns displaying each of the selected superstars, and the Grammy-award-winning singer stood out in elegance.
According to Rolling Stone, the BOSS campaign wardrobe focuses on the formal, reimagining signature suiting with clean, strong silhouettes and an extension of their ‘CorpCore” aesthetic, which they first introduced in 2023, tapping into the appetite for the sleek, Christian Bale-American Psycho aesthetic revitalised by HBO’s Succession.

Burna Boy says Wike never gave him money
Singer Burna Boy has continued to defend his decision to no longer speak for Nigerians or join the nationwide protest.
This came after the End Bad Governance protests kicked off in the country on August 1, 2024, and netizens criticised Burna Boy for staying quiet.
While defending himself, Burna Boy denied FCT minister Nyesom Wike, and Nigerians dug up a video of them together.
