Ladipoe and Bella Shmurda have delivered a beat box like hit song. With Ladipoe on verses rapping, and Shmurda giving us sweet tunes in the chorus, this song is unique to what Afrobeats lovers are accustomed to hearing.
Three weeks since its release to YouTube, it has gained over 655k views.
What does “guy man” mean?
Guy man in Nigerian pidgin English means a top man with swagger, and likely he has that swag because he is wealthy or living comfortably and well known with a good network of people around him.
What is the meaning of the song?
Ladipoe is singing the literal meaning of guy man. He is saying – with swag – how he goes on “world tours”, he has “no more space for lambo” and he is feeling “like the chosen one”.
