West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell, known for his explosive power-hitting and flamboyant on-field persona, has often shared his love for music off the field. Among his favourites is the popular Punjabi-English track “Millionaire” by Yo Yo Honey Singh — a song that mirrors Russell’s dynamic personality and larger-than-life image. The 37-year-old is currently playing for the Los Angeles Knight Riders in the ongoing Major League Cricket (MLC).“I am going to say Millionaire,” Russell said in “Our Stupid Reaction” podcast.The song, with its infectious beats and swaggering lyrics, resonates with Russell’s high-octane lifestyle. Whether he’s smashing sixes in a T20 league or dancing in a dressing room celebration, “Millionaire” often finds its way into his playlist. Russell has been seen vibing to this track on several occasions, making it clear that the song is more than just background music — it’s a mood that matches his confidence and self-belief.Yo Yo Honey Singh, known for his catchy fusion of Punjabi beats and hip-hop, released “Millionaire” as part of his rise to fame in the Indian music scene.
Its boastful lyrics and thumping rhythm make it a perfect hype song, often used by athletes and performers to get into the zone. For someone like Russell, who thrives on energy and emotion, it’s a fitting anthem.Russell’s love for “Millionaire” also highlights the cross-cultural appeal of music and cricket. A Jamaican cricketer connecting with an Indian rapper’s track reflects the global nature of both sports and music. It’s no wonder that Russell, who has a strong fan base in India thanks to the IPL, finds common ground in a song that celebrates ambition, style, and attitude — just like him.
