The song "Drogba" by Afro B is a tribute to Didier Drogba, a renowned Ivorian striker who played for Chelsea Football Club. The song is named after Drogba and includes references to his style of play and the way he dominated on the field. In the song, the singer compares his love interest to Drogba, asking how she could play him like the soccer star.
The song's catchy chorus repeats the name "Joanna," who is the object of the singer's affection. He is enamored with her "busy body" and how she is giving him life. However, he also expresses frustration with her actions, saying "why you do me like that?" and comparing her behavior to that of Drogba on the soccer field. He wants her to stop "dulling him" and to give him her "goody bag."
The lyrics also include references to Nigerian Pidgin English, which is a creole language spoken in Nigeria. Afro B is of Ivorian and Congolese descent but grew up in London. The song's mix of languages and cultures speaks to his own background and the diverse international context in which the song was created.
