Big Shaq may have been the biggest troll of 2017 but "Mans Not Hot" was an undeniable anthem. While Michael Dapaah, Big Shaq's real name, is a comedian, he definitely showed his musical side with the song. He became a global star off the strength of the song which ultimately led him to an appearance at the BET Hip Hop Awards last fall. It was unsure if he'd come through with a follow up with "Mans Not Hot" but today, he comes through with his latest song, "Man Don't Dance."
Big Shaq returns with another banger with "Man Don't Dance." This time around, Shaq still comes through with jokes throughout the song but it's definitely another banger. Big Shaq referenced the song's title last week in a clip of his speaking on the Royal Wedding. He didn't reveal when it would drop but clearly, he had to drop it in time for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding.
Quotable Lyrics
I said babes, I'mma big man
I got big plans, they call me Big Shaq
I make the ting go quack from way back
I made "Mans Not Hot," I know you like that
