Rudiger reveals his favourite musical artist
Real Madrid defender Antonio Rudiger, shared his favorite musical artist during an interview. The former Chelsea player revealed that Grammy-winning Nigerian Afrobeats sensation, Wizkid, holds the top spot on his playlist. Rudiger, who hails from Sierra Leone and represents Germany internationally, made this disclosure in a recent conversation with Le Media Carre.
Interviewer: “Who is your favourite artiste?”
Rudiger: “My favourite artist is Wizkid.”
Antonio Rudiger joins a growing list of footballers who have proclaimed Wizkid as their favorite musician. Another notable name on this list is Alex Iwobi, who recently made waves in the Nigerian music scene with a surprising revelation.
When questioned about his musical preferences, particularly between English and Nigerian music, the Fulham midfielder didn’t hesitate to express his love for Nigerian music, particularly Afrobeats.
In a subsequent inquiry about his favorite Nigerian artist, Iwobi promptly named Wizkid as his all-time favorite. This declaration holds significance, especially considering the speculation surrounding a rap video that fans believe he may have created.

Wizkid, a Nigerian music icon, commands 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.
