Iwobi the music star
Meanwhile, the Super Eagles midfielder has clarified why he recorded a song named ‘Don’t Shoot’ while partnering with his colleagues Chuba Akpom and Medy Elito.
Iwobi wrote the song over the summer break after having a huge influence on Fulham in the 2023–2024 campaign.

The midfielder who helped his team finish in 13th place and advance to the Carabao Cup semifinals last season claimed that the song's lyrics are meant to encourage young people to set greater.
Also, he wants the youth to target more ambitious objectives for themselves and to combat the harmful inclinations of London's youth.

Alex Iwobi, who also loves fashion, has always loved music, but his buddies convinced him to record a song even though he had no intention of doing so.
