One song can change everything — but the journey behind it is where the real story lives.
In this episode of TIMELESS with Teddy, South London artist Afro B — born Ross-Emmanuel Bayeto — sits down to reflect on the rise of his global hit Drogba (Joanna), a track that broke musical boundaries and brought Afrobeats to audiences across the world.
Born in South-East London to Ivorian parents, Afro B speaks proudly about representing his heritage while navigating the global music industry. He shares the story behind the creation of “Drogba (Joanna)” and the unforgettable moment when the song reached legendary Ivorian football icon Didier Drogba himself.
The conversation also touches on identity, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the responsibilities artists carry when representing culture on a global stage.
With collaborations already spanning artists like T-Pain, Ashanti, and Vybz Kartel, Afro B continues to expand the reach of his sound — a wave he proudly calls AfroWave.
A conversation about culture, global music and the journey behind the hit.
