Davido Declares Victor Osimhen as His Greatest of All Time
Nigerian music superstar Davido has publicly proclaimed Napoli striker Victor Osimhen as his greatest of all time (GOAT), sparking discussions among football fans and analysts, Soccernet.ng reports.
Osimhen Earns Davido’s Backing
With this public endorsement, the four-time Grammy nominee seemingly overlooked other prominent Super Eagles stars, including Ademola Lookman and Victor Boniface, despite their impressive performances on the international stage.
Osimhen, a former LOSC Lille forward, has been one of Nigeria’s most outstanding footballers in recent years. With 35 caps for the Super Eagles, he played a crucial role in Napoli’s Serie A title triumph and has been a key figure in the national team, scoring 21 goals to become Nigeria’s second all-time highest goal scorer.
Social Media Post Sparks Debate
Davido’s admiration for Osimhen became evident in a recent social media post, where he reshared a picture of the Napoli striker with the simple caption, “My GOAT.” This post followed Galatasaray’s 1-0 victory against Gaziantep, a match where Osimhen, despite not scoring, proved to be a constant menace to the opposition’s defense.
Snub to Lookman and Boniface?
The singer’s declaration comes at a time when both Lookman and Boniface have been in exceptional form. Lookman played a decisive role in Atalanta’s Europa League triumph, while Boniface was instrumental in Bayer Leverkusen’s historic Bundesliga victory. Despite their contributions, Davido’s preference for Osimhen highlights the strong bond between the two.
Osimhen recently attended Davido’s wedding reception with Chioma, and the two have been spotted together at various events, further cementing their friendship. This close relationship may have influenced Davido’s public endorsement of the Napoli star over his Super Eagles teammates.
