\n\tAlong the way, Burna shares several memorable interactions. He poses for photos with collaborator Shakira, with whom he teamed up for the official 2026 FIFA World Cup anthem \u201cDai Dai.\u201d The song \u2014 which the duo performed during Sunday\u2019s halftime \u2014 spends a second week atop the Billboard Global 200 and a fourth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart. Burna also meets up with streamer iShowSpeed, embraces Justin Bieber in a hug, and even greets Ted<\/em> Lasso<\/em> star Jason Sudeikis, who made an unannounced cameo to introduce Bieber. After making his rounds, Burna squeezes in one final practice session right before taking the stage.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe camera follows Burna stepping onto the field, capturing the celebration. Burna is all smiles as the performance comes to an end, entering the players\u2019 tunnel to return backstage and receiving praise from Chris Martin, who curated the halftime show and co-wrote the song \u201cWe Dance\u201d with his Coldplay bandmates for the finale.<\/p>\n
