Victor Osimhen reveals his favourite Afrobeats artiste and the song he uses to get his game face on.

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has revealed his favourite Nigerian artistes and his pre-game song.

Afrobeats is one of the fastest-growing genres in the world and is enjoying an incredible amount of global penetration, and despite its blossoming beyond borders, it still remains firm in its roots.

Nigerians at home and in the diaspora never shy away from glorifying afrobeats, and Osimhen, who has spent the greater chunk of the last seven years away from the West African nation, remains plugged in to the country’s music scene.

Osimhen names his favourite afrobeats artiste 

On more than one occasion, the Napoli striker has been videoed in his car singing along to Afrobeats artist Seyi Vibez, the most viral being a clip of him singing the track 'Amdallah', a single from the artiste’s “Vibes Till Thy Kingdom Come” album.

Hence, he was asked in an interview with Youtuber Korty eo about his love for the artiste, which he confirmed. However, he revealed that YBNL Nation boss Olamide is his favourite artiste, even suggesting he is a stan.

"I love him a lot," Osimhen said about Seyi Vibez. 

"But Olamide is my favourite. Like, make I go heaven come back, Olamide.

“I have moments that maybe when I'm going for games, there's this particular one I listen to before entering the pitch [sings an excerpt from Olamides's 'King Shii]. It's very deep for those that really understand Yoruba.”

Osimhen on his taste in women

As Pulse Sports reported, Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen discussed his taste in women in an interview, revealing that he is put off by female admirers making a move on him, as he prefers being the initiator of romantic relationships.

The 24-year-old is not single, as he is in a relationship with a German woman, Stephanie Ledwig, and they have a one-year-old daughter named Hailey, but he was happy to discuss his romantic preferences.

The Napoli forward had an interview with YouTuber Korty eo, where he discussed growing up, his family, and his career, among other things.

Osimhen spoke about his love life and hinted at what seemed like he has had his share of heartbreaks, but he says he is reigned in now and focuses his affection on his daughter.

His dynamics with female interests came up and when he was asked if he regularly gets wooed, he explained that he preferred doing the chasing.
