Iwobi hails Wizkid
Legit.ng earlier reported that Iwobi named Afrobeats superstar Ayo Balogun, aka Wizkid, as his favourite Nigerian singer.
Iwobi, who was heavily trolled by Nigerians over his performance in the 2023 African Cup of Nations final against Cote d'Ivoire, said he had been a long-time fan of Wizkid during a question and answer session.
His response, however, stunned the interviewer, who appeared to be a big fan of Grammy Award winner Damini Ogulu, aka Burna Boy.
