Popcaan has released the video for “Aboboyaa”, a collaboration with Nigerian Afrobeats artist Burna Boy, off his fifth studio album, great is him.
The OVO-produced album, which was released on the digital streaming platform on Friday (Jan. 27), gave fans another treat with the release of the video for “Aboboyaa” on Friday night. In a video teaser shared on his Instagram account, Popcaan shared clips of the song that he had previously teased. We now know the name of the trike that Popcaan rode with several women.
The three-wheeled vehicle is called an “Aboboyaa” and we can now see the relevance of this unique form of transportation in a video. The video features a night scene, with the women and several brides on Aboboyaa wearing Western-style wedding dresses. The song riddim mixes drums and the famous saxophone – sounds common in both Afrobeat and dancehall music.
During part of the video, Popcaan is seen wearing a red suit with a crate on his head, before the video cuts to him driving an Aboboyaa with a woman in a green dress behind him.
Popcaan celebrated his album release by sharing a series of posts on Instagram. In one post, the artist appeared to be in Canada for an album listening party with fans.
