Nigerian Afrobeats star Burna Boy and Colombian icon Shakira have reached a remarkable milestone with their collaborative single, “Dai Dai.
The song’s official music video has surpassed one billion views on Shakira’s YouTube channel, a figure independently verified using the channel’s public view count.
Released in May, “Dai Dai” fuses Shakira’s signature Latin-pop sound with Burna Boy’s dynamic Afrobeats style, showcasing the global appeal of both artists. The track was selected as the Official Song of the FIFA World Cup 2026, with royalties supporting the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund.
This achievement adds to Shakira’s legacy of football anthems, following her 2010 hit “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa).” For Burna Boy, it further elevates his international profile and highlights the ever-expanding influence of Nigerian Afrobeats on the world stage.
