Nigerian Grammy-winning singer, Burna Boy, is once again taking Afrobeats to the global stage as a featured artist on “Dai Dai”, the official anthem for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, alongside Colombian icon Shakira.
Burna Boy and Shakira are putting together finishing touches on the song, preparatory to the global showpiece.
The music video of the song, now streaming on YouTube, is already gaining global attention and has been embraced by fans as part of the countdown soundtrack to the tournament.
On “Dai Dai”, Burna Boy delivers his signature Afro-fusion sound, blending English with Spanish in a cross-cultural performance that connects African rhythm with Latin energy. The track celebrates global football culture, referencing legends such as Diego Maradona and Pelé, as well as modern stars including Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Kylian Mbappé, alongside host nations the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
Beyond its global sound, the project also carries a social impact mission. Proceeds and royalties from “Dai Dai” will support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which aims to raise $100 million by July 2026 to improve access to education and football opportunities for children worldwide.
The official video features stadium-inspired visuals and high-energy Afro-Latin production, sparking dance challenges and widespread reactions across social media, with strong engagement from Nigerian audiences who have embraced the track as a cultural moment.
The collaboration marks another major international milestone for Burna Boy, further strengthening his position as one of Africa’s leading global music ambassadors.
