ZURICH— Global hunger rates reportedly spiked Tuesday following the release of Shakira and Burna Boy’s new music video, ‘Dai Dai.’ The song, an official anthem for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, features cameos from numerous soccer stars. Many critics claimed the video’s intense focus on food-based metaphors was too realistic. The ‘Dai Dai’ video reportedly left viewers famished. Some fans even attempted to replicate the iconic ‘Dai Dai’ dance moves in search of sustenance.
World Cup Anthem Leaves Viewers Starving
The globe-spanning visual for ‘Dai Dai’ is packed with symbolic imagery. At one point, Lionel Messi is seen juggling a giant, glistening empanada. Kylian Mbappé later takes a bite out of a watermelon the size of a Fiat Panda. ‘I watched the video, and suddenly I couldn’t stop thinking about food,’ said hunger advocate Agnes Periwinkle, director of the Global Association of People Who Are Definitely Hungry. ‘The sheer volume of delicious-looking, non-existent food onscreen was overwhelming.’ Periwinkle urged fans to practice responsible viewing habits. She suggested avoiding the video on an empty stomach. The official FIFA 2026 World Cup website has not yet commented.
Critics Call For Calorie-Conscious Content
The video’s vibrant colors and energetic performances were also cited. They reportedly triggered intense cravings in vulnerable populations. ‘I saw Shakira’s abs, then Burna Boy’s infectious smile, then Messi’s empanada,’ explained superfan Gary Gloop. ‘Next thing I knew, my entire pantry was gone. I ate the cat food, too.’ Gloop is now reportedly on a waiting list for a donated meal. He blamed the ‘Dai Dai’ video for his current predicament. ‘It’s too much! It’s too much deliciousness!’ he wailed. Experts are debating whether to issue a global famine warning. They are also considering a worldwide ban on avocados.
At press time, Shakira and Burna Boy announced a follow-up single titled ‘Empty Stomach.’ It features a remix with Snoop Dogg and a cameo from Gordon Ramsay.
