“I Feel Him More Than Burna”: Alex Iwobi Says, Naming His Favourite Nigerian Music Artiste

• Alex Iwobi, who was part of Nigeria's campaign at AFCON 2023, named his favourite music artiste
• The Fulham midfielder has suggested that his best Nigerian singer has more vibes than Burna Boy
• Iwobi, however, has admitted that Burna Boy's track titled 'Last Last' was a sensational hit song

Super Eagles star, Alex Iwobi, sparked reactions when he named his favourite Nigerian music artiste.

The Fulham of England midfielder faced a tough time at the recently concluded 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.

He was criticised after Nigeria lost the final match 2-1 to the hosts, forcing him to delete all his photos from Instagram.

Iwobi seems to have moved on as he also found the back of the net in Fulham's 2-1 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford.

And now, the former Arsenal star has described Wizkid as his favourite Nigerian artist.

During an episode of ‘Would You Rather’, the 27-year-old stated that Wizkid’s vibes capture his attention more than that of Burna Boy, but admitted that 'Odogwu's 'Last Last' hit track was a massive hit. He said, as per Complete Sports:

“I prefer Nigerian music to English. Wizkid is my favourite Nigerian artiste. I feel him more than Burna [Boy].

“I have always been a big fan of Wizkid.”

'Ojuelegba' crooner Wizkid, who prefers to be known as 'BigWiz' is arguably one of Nigeria's greatest music exports.

He was the first male artist to receive a Grammy award for his hit collaboration Brown Skin Girl which he received alongside the queen of Pop, Beyonce.
