Wizkid, a Nigerian music icon, commands a superstar status with a plethora of awards to his credit. Notably, he made history as the first male artist to clinch a Grammy Award for his chart-topping collaboration “Brown Skin Girl” alongside pop queen Beyoncé.
With conjecture swirling about Alex Iwobi’s potential foray into the music industry, one thing remains certain: the burgeoning popularity and global acclaim of Afrobeats will undoubtedly fuel further growth and prosperity within the industry.
The video showcases highlights from his football journey and personal experiences, set to the backdrop of a rap song. In the caption, he simply writes “Lately…”
Fans speculate that the rap, possibly penned by Iwobi himself, delves into his life narrative. The lyrics touch upon themes of overcoming obstacles, self-belief, and achieving success despite facing skepticism from others.
The rap starts with, “Never thought I’d make it, but now people know me,” showing how he’s become famous. Later, he says things like, “Everything was worth it, now I’m known worldwide,” celebrating his achievements. He also seems to be talking to people who didn’t believe in him, saying, “They said I wasn’t good enough.”
