The global collaboration between Colombian superstar Shakira and Nigerian Afrobeats giant Burna Boy is already making waves across digital platforms, with their joint record “Dai Dai” recording a blockbuster debut on YouTube.
Released as part of the build-up to the FIFA World Cup 2026 musical campaign, the track has now surpassed 20 million views in less than three days, a rapid rise that signals massive global interest.
The impressive streaming performance has also seen Dai Dai emerge as the most viewed FIFA 2026-related song on YouTube so far, placing it ahead of other official and unofficial tournament-linked releases currently circulating online.
The collaboration brings together two heavyweights from different musical worlds: Shakira, known for her long-standing influence in global pop and football anthems, and Burna Boy, one of Afrobeats’ most dominant international exports in recent years.

Together, both artists deliver a high-energy crossover sound designed for stadium stages, global playlists, and large-scale sporting moments — a formula that has historically driven some of the biggest football tournament songs in history.
The strong opening numbers further underline how football-related music releases continue to gain instant traction worldwide, especially when powered by globally recognised stars with strong fanbases across continents.
With its current momentum, Dai Dai is already being tipped as one of the standout anthems leading into the 2026 World Cup cycle, with expectations of even bigger numbers in the coming weeks.
