Meugiwaranéo is a unique and intriguing word that is a play on Gims's stage name, Meugi, combined with "Warano," which is another one of his artistic personas or a reference to his crew. It's a neologism created by the artist himself.

This word is interesting because it's not a standard French word; it's a personal brand or identity that Gims has crafted. It immediately signals to the listener that they are entering Gims's world and style, making it highly memorable and unique to this song and artist.

🎶 Welcome to “Warano Style,” a swagger-packed anthem where Gims celebrates his journey from the bustling streets of Paris to the vibrant heart of Congo. The chant Meugiwaranéo blends his nicknames (Meugi, Warano) into a catchy rallying cry, setting the tone for lyrical victory laps about platinum hits, luxury rides (Pagani, Ferrari, Murciélago) and the golden touch that turns every track into a hit. Amid the bragging, he salutes Sexion d’Assaut, Wati B, and cities across Africa, grounding his triumph in loyalty, community and cultural pride.

At its core, the song is a motivational flex: believe in your talent, silence the skeptics and give everything, because “c’est mon année” – this is my year. Gims positions himself as a role model for his “sistas,” warns haters to “faire gaffe,” and invites listeners to stride into their own spotlight with the same fearless energy. The result is a feel-good fusion of self-confidence and celebration, wrapped in rapid-fire wordplay and Afro-Parisian rhythms that will have you shouting “Warano!” right along with him.

GIMS, born Gandhi Djuna in 1986 in Kinshasa, is one of the biggest stars in French music. His family left the Democratic Republic of the Congo for Paris when he was just two years old, and he grew up in the French capital.

He first made his name as the masked frontman of the rap collective Sexion d'Assaut, one of the groups behind France's rap revival around 2010. Since going solo in 2013 he has become a chart-topping, stadium-filling artist who blends rap, pop and R&B, and he has worked with international names like Sia, Sting, Maluma and Pitbull.
