I’m really excited because Alex Iwobi is dropping some new music! He’s actually going to be performing two songs all by himself, which is awesome. And for the rest of the tracks, he’s collaborating with some amazing artists like 24am, Teniola Time, Gidi, Fido, and SPKS – the lineup is incredible!

Alex Iwobi has previously worked with fellow soccer player Chuba Akpom, known as Skoli, and even released a song titled ‘Hop Out’ featuring British rapper Ramz.

Iwobi uses his music as a form of therapy and creative outlet to have a break from football.

He also shares hopeful messages through songs like ‘Don’t Shoot,’ released in 2024, and draws inspiration from his upbringing.
