According to **Hiptv**, Super Eagles and Fulham star Alex Iwobi is officially diversifying his portfolio with the announcement of his debut music project titled “More To Life.” The EP, scheduled for release in April 2026, marks the first time a major active Nigerian international footballer has fully crossed over into the recording arts. Iwobi has teased fans with snippets that suggest a blend of UK Rap and Afrobeats influences.
**Vanguard News** reported on the athlete’s creative transition, noting that Iwobi has been spending significant time in London studios during the off-season. An official statement from his media team confirmed the project: “Alex has always had a passion for storytelling through music, and ‘More To Life’ is a reflection of his journey off the pitch.”
**Pulse Nigeria** shared a social media clip of the midfielder in the booth, where he stated, “This isn’t a hobby; I’ve put my soul into these tracks.” Fellow players and musicians have already started flooding his comments with support, signaling a warm reception from both the sporting and entertainment worlds.
Iwobi’s move into music is a savvy business play that capitalizes on the “baller-rapper” crossover culture seen in the UK. By launching this EP while still at the peak of his football career, he is building a post-career brand that bridges his Nigerian heritage with his London upbringing. If the lead single gains traction on TikTok, he could become the first Nigerian “dual-threat” global superstar.
