Alex Iwobi: “When I was nobody, Wizkid showed me love.”

The midfielder for Fulham, Alex Iwobi, claimed that when he was just starting out in his career, singer Wizkid showed him “love.”

Even though Wizkid didn’t know who I was at the time, the former Arsenal player claimed that Wizkid was “nice” to him when they first met.

Speaking in a recent interview with Oma Sports TV, Iwobi said Wizkid’s concert at Tottenham stadium earlier this year “is my favourite Nigerian show, I really enjoyed myself.”

He described Wizkid as a “nice and very humble guy.”

The Super Eagles midfield maestro said, “Wizkid’s show at Tottenham stadium is my favorite Nigerian show, I really enjoyed myself. I didn’t get to meet him that day. But I’ve met him previous times and he’s a very nice and very humble guy.

“The first time I met him, he showed me love when he first met me even though he didn’t know who I was at the time. I’ve seen him in stores and even in the club as well, and he has always showed me so much love. He is someone that I really respect.”
