Burna Boy closed things off with his massive hit "Ye," one of the clear standouts from his latest full-length album Outsideand a song so good that people online even argued it should become the new Nigerian national anthem when it came out.

The Nigerian star got everyone moving to this live band version of his big single, packed with added saxophone lines and background group vocals. He had the Coachella crowd singing along to its refrain by the end.
