The dividing line between Afribeat and Hip Hop gradually dims everyday. A lot of Afrobeat styles are being incorporated into the African definition of mainstream HipHop now.
Billionaire is a song by Teni that just reflects the aspirations of a young mind, especially in a place like Africa.
The need to want to "make" it. She sings about how she wants to be a billionaire and likens the kind of affluence she wants to have to wealthy Africans like Otedola (an oil magnate), Adenuga (a telecoms CEO) etc
She also talks about how she wants to be in the best houses, the best cars, be mentioned even in the Forbes magazine.
She believes aspiring to be very wealthy isn't too much to ask.
Enjoy the song!
