Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has hailed Nigeria’s music icons—Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy—calling them “big legends” for their role in raising Nigeria’s global profile.
Speaking during a Twitch livestream with comedian Carter Efe on March 21, 2026, Osimhen expressed admiration for the artists’ accomplishments and their influence on international culture. He emphasized that their success gives Nigerians “bragging rights” when their music plays abroad.
“I have met them in person, of course. They are doing amazingly well,” Osimhen said in pidgin English. “The thing they are doing is putting our country up there on an international, global level. It is not normal.”
Victor Osimhen highlighted the pride he feels when hearing Nigerian music in foreign clubs and venues. He noted that people frequently comment on Nigeria’s wealth of talent, a sentiment he strongly agrees with. He also reflected on his football journey, giving credit to God and naming Didier Drogba, Odion Ighalo, and John Obi Mikel as key influences.
Currently one of Africa’s most prominent athletes, Osimhen continues to shine in Europe with Galatasaray and the Super Eagles. His comments highlight the growing synergy between Nigerian sports and entertainment on the global stage.
