Burna Boy Makes History! Nigerian Superstar to Perform Official 2026 FIFA World Cup Anthem with Shakira

From the streets of Port Harcourt to the biggest stages on earth, Burna Boy continues to prove that African music has no limits.
The Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar has achieved yet another historic milestone by teaming up with global music icon Shakira to perform “Dai Dai,” the official anthem of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. Even more remarkable, Burna Boy is set to perform the song alongside Shakira during the World Cup opening ceremony in Mexico, placing Nigerian and African talent at the center of one of the most watched sporting events on the planet.
This is more than music. It is a celebration of how far African creativity, culture, and excellence have travelled. Every time Burna Boy steps onto a global stage, he carries the hopes, dreams, and pride of millions of Africans with him. He continues to break barriers, challenge stereotypes, and open doors for the next generation of African artists.
For decades, Africa looked up to the world for recognition. Today, the world is looking to Africa for inspiration, and Burna Boy is one of the leading voices driving that movement.
Congratulations to Burna Boy for this incredible achievement. Thank you for flying the Nigerian flag high and showing the world the beauty, talent, and power of African music.
