Dangote

Song by Burna Boy

3 mins • 2019

“Dangote” is a powerful and socially conscious single from Burna Boy’s monumental 2019 album, African Giant. It’s an anthem about the relentless pursuit of success, framed by Nigeria’s harsh economic realities.

The song is named after Aliko Dangote, the Nigerian business magnate who is Africa’s richest person. Burna Boy uses Dangote as the ultimate standard of ambition and relentless work ethic, drawing a crucial parallel.

Burna Boy delivers his lyrics with a passionate, repetitive flow, making the central message highly memorable and chant-worthy. The repetition of Dangote’s name transforms it into a motivational mantra.
