Grammy boys, Burna Boy and Wizkid have released the music video to their latest single, Ballon D’Or.
Nigerian music heavyweights, Burna Boy and Wizkid serve us a sizzling video to their latest sensation, Ballon D’Or.
Shot in Lagos, the chemistry and fluidity between two of the most successful African artistes on the continent, Burna Boy and Wizkid is a beauty that could only have been captured in film by prolific director, Director K who created magic and raised the artistic bar with these visuals.
Despite dazzlers and under a masculinity-fueled obsession with a particular sense of authenticity, the visuals for ‘Ballon D’Or‘ are phenomenal yet playful as we see two stars living their dreams in real time, matching a blockbuster sense of confidence with arena-size sounds and attendant energy.

Burna Boy doesn’t have to make a song and dance about the ‘Ballon D’Or visuals, it speaks loud on it’s own with his verse and Wizkid‘s flow, going together like traffic and weather.
Revealing legendary welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman who makes a sexy cameo in these visuals, Burna Boy is that artiste who, like a moth to a flame, music is an intrinsic pull.
Quotable lyrics
Penkelemes
Come dey smoke cannabis
Doctor say “make I pop one of this”
Make me fly like say I’m Alaaddin
Come bring some kind melodies
Omo, Messi self no do pass like this
So many things inside of my jeans
I swear down, e be things, e be things
(Ayy, ayy)…
Watch!
