Grammy award-winning Nigerian duo, Burna Boy and Wizkid have released a video for the African Giant’s new song ‘Ballon D’Or.
Produced by Nigerian British producer P2j, the track is inspired by one of the most prestigious trophies given to professional football players — Ballon D’Or whose recipient is regarded as the best male football player in the world – with Paris Saint-Germain and Argentina’s Lionel Messi the last recipient of the award in 2021, his sixth accolade.
The music stars announced the release of the visuals via their individual social media pages on Friday and its still generating enormous reactions from their fan base.
The video starts with Burna Boy and Wizkid on a boat cruise, savouring the serenity of the cool atmosphere at a beach in the company of several ladies.
The video also featured UFC champion, Kamaru Usman as both singers gushed about their heroics in the music industry.
Burna Boy enjoyed several collaborations with international stars such as “I Feel It (Feat. Burna Boy)” with Jon Bellion; “Want It All” featuring Polo G, “Question” ft Don Jazzy, and Becky G x Burna Boy’s “Rotate,” featured in Pepsi’s global football campaign “Music Keeps Us Fizzing.”
The African Giant also teamed up with Justin Bieber on the 8x Gfammy nominated album Justice and with 9x Grammy Award-nominee Sia for “Hey Boy”.
Burna Boy is currently nominated for the 64th Grammy awards alongside the multiple Grammy award winning Beninoise singer Angelique Kidjo for Best Global Performance on “Do Yourself.”
