Joshua Baraka’s "Morocco" Sparks Interest from Rap Icon French Montana at AFCON
While he didn’t command the main stadium stage for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) opening, Joshua Baraka stole the spotlight where the heart of the tournament beats loudest: the Fanzone.
The Ugandan sensation turned the pre-ceremony energy up to a fever pitch, fueled by the perfect timing of his hit single, "Morocco." As fans gathered in the North African host nation, the track’s infectious rhythm felt less like a coincidence and more like the unofficial anthem of the kickoff.
The magic didn't stop at the performance. In a bold move typical of Uganda’s vocal online community, a fan tagged Moroccan-American rapper French Montana on X, pitching a dream collaboration between the "Morocco" singer and the rap icon.
Then, the unexpected happened: French Montana noticed.
The superstar retweeted the suggestion, adding a simple but loud caption of ❄️ and 🔥 emojis. It wasn't a long paragraph, but for fans, it was a "game on" signal that sent social media into a total meltdown.
If this collaboration moves from a tweet to the studio, it won't be Montana’s first time tapping into Ugandan excellence.
Back in 2017, French Montana famously teamed up with the Triplets Ghetto Kids for the global smash "Unforgettable". That track has since clocked over 1.8 billion views on YouTube, proving that when Montana connects with the Pearl of Africa, the world watches.
With the "Morocco" singer riding a wave of continental momentum, a Baraka-Montana link-up could be the next massive bridge between East African soul and global hip-hop.
