A TikTok video shared by @carterefe captures Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen showering immense praise on Nigeria’s “Big Three”—Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy—during an early morning Twitch session on Saturday. Speaking in Pidgin English, the Galatasaray forward described the trio as legends who have provided Nigerians with “bragging rights” on a global scale. Osimhen shared his excitement about hearing their music played in international clubs, noting that their success makes the job of representing Nigeria abroad much easier.
The striker revealed that he has met all three artists personally and remains a “huge fan” of their work and work ethic. He emphasized that the global recognition they have garnered is not something “other countries can easily replicate,” pointing to the cultural soft power the musicians wield. The clip has since gone viral, with fans of all three fanbases (30BG, Wizkid FC, and Outsiders) surprisingly uniting to celebrate the footballer’s humility and patriotism.
Daily Post Nigeria corroborated the event, reporting that “Osimhen lavished praises on Nigeria’s top musicians… describing them as legends putting the country on the global map.” Additionally, Punch Newspapers featured the video on their social media handles, quoting Osimhen: “These guys dem be big legend… that alone na bragging rights for us.”
Echotitbits take:
Osimhen’s endorsement serves as a powerful reminder of the intersection between Nigerian sports and music. At a time when fanbases are often at each other’s throats, a figure of Osimhen’s stature validating all three artists helps cool tensions and reinforces the “Nigeria to the World” narrative. It also signals Osimhen’s growing comfort as a cultural influencer beyond the football pitch, a role he is increasingly embracing during his time in Turkey.
