This World Cup was one for the books. It’s painted in my memory, right up there with 2002, when I fell in love with watching the game, when Ronaldinho, Ronaldo🇧🇷, Kaka, Rivaldo, and all the Brazilians were running it up.

I’m so thankful to have been a small part of such a major production, and so thankful for all the people I’ve met along the way.
Thank you to everyone I watched even one moment of one game with 🙏🏾
Thank you to Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar for your service and being the inspiration 🫡.
Thank You Lamine Yamal and the Barca crew for being the future 🔮
Thank you to the 🇨🇻 🇦🇷 🇨🇴 🇬🇭 fans for showing love.
Thank you to Cabo Verde for winning over all of our hearts, attending that match was a childhood dream come true.
Thank you to Miami for being home, and for hosting the most beautiful game in the world.

Bittersweet to watch this one end. Grateful to have played even a small part in performing for the activations throughout the city and especially The FIFA Fan Festival™ Miami during the FIFA World Cup 2026™. ⚽️🌎🙏🏾🎥 @nukaproductions

For this @makeawishsfla wish, the child and a parent headed straight into @hardrockstadium to watch the FIFA World Cup live! 🏟️

Meanwhile, an intimate watch party was hosted for the rest of their family, and those were the moments I got to document. Seeing the families connect and celebrate their child’s dream coming true was so special 🙏⚽️

This Friday I’ll be performing live at the FIFA Fan Festival Miami ™️ at Bayfront Park, from 5pm on, on the Community Stage during the Cape Verde vs Argentina AND Colombia vs Ghana matches. ⚽️🇨🇻🇦🇷 🇨🇴🇬🇭

Football’s been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Stumbled upon some videos from my teenage years and clipped up a few goals. The next slides are some vibes from the community stage I’m not biased, it’s the best place to watch 🥶 This World Cup has been bringing me back to life.

It’s an honor to play a small part in something the whole world shows up for. Combining my business with my childhood passion is something I’ve always dreamed of 🙏🏾

Pull up! 🇨🇻🇦🇷 🇨🇴🇬🇭

David vs. Goliath.

This Friday, the eyes of the football world turn toward Cabo Verde as they prepare to face defending World Champions Argentina led by Lionel Messi.

On paper, the odds favor the giants. But football has never been played on paper.

Just over a week ago, AfriKin was honored to welcome the Cabo Verde National Team, diplomats, artists, community leaders, and supporters from across the African Diaspora to Miami for an unforgettable celebration of a nation making history. It was more than a VIP reception. It was a reminder that every great football story begins with belief long before the opening whistle.

Our evening featured: Distinguished diplomatic guests (Mayor Alix Desulme of North Miami @mayordesulme, Consul General Octavio Gomes of Cabo Verde) • Cultural performances (JamGuru @marik.the.musician, Aaron Mentos @aaronmentos, Leah Nadia Gayle, Bilal & Mustafa) • @PUMA Fashion Runway • Contemporary African art • International networking • Community celebration • Food by Chef Abdul Mushin @chefabdul77, Casa Noosh @casanoosh, and Tropileaf @tropileafbahamas Beverages by Prosperous Vodka @prosperousvodka , Montenegro Grogue Rum, Super Bock Lager @superbock • The spirit of Global Africa united through the beautiful game

As currently the only African nation competing in Miami during this FIFA World Cup, Cabo Verde carries far more than a flag. They carry generations of resilience, possibility, and the hopes of millions across Global Africa.

Win or lose, history has already been written.

Now comes the next chapter.

We invite you to relive this extraordinary evening through our official recap video and experience the spirit, pride, and unity that filled Maison AfriKin before one of the biggest matches in Cabo Verde’s football history.

We are proudly rooting for Global Africa, and we hope you are too.

This love story between AfriKin and Cabo Verde is far from over.

Viva Cabo Verde! 🇨🇻⚽❤️ 🎥 @bbfilms_usa
