On 22 December 2021, Buju headlined his first sold-out concert, which was also his debut concert at Balmoral Convection centre, Lagos.

In July 2022, he featured on the Jae5 song “Propeller” alongside British rapper Dave.
The song became Bnxn’s first Top 40 single in the United Kingdom, entering the chart at number 38.
