After the match, Burna Boy had the chance to converse with soccer giants on CBS Sports.

In the course of their discussion, Burna was challenged to name the superior player between Kanu and Okocha by Thierry Henry, a former player for both France and Arsenal but the singer begged not to be put in the spotlight.

“I have one for you, you go Kanu or Okocha? Henry asked.

“Don’t do this to me, man. No, I can’t do this,” replied the ‘Twice As Tall’ crooner.

“This is treachery. It is treason. I can get hanged for it,” he added.

Burna Boy became compelled to whisper his choice to Henry after being persuaded further. 

Former England player, Micah Richards claimed to have overheard the name Okocha. 

However, Henry steadfastly declined to reveal Burna’s choice, adding, “I will respect this one.”

He admitted to Micah that he had no idea who the singer picked.

The housekeepers of comedians Charles Okocha drew his ire after they offered his ‘phenomenal doura’, Mercy a big bowl containing over a dozen wraps of large fufu to consume.

The excessively doting daughter, agitated by the sight of the meal, reprimanded the men for offering his ‘doura’ such ‘shit’ and reached for his phone to call the medics so as to ensure his precious child was alright.

“Hey, my phenomenal doura(the exact way Okocha pronounces the word, daughter)! Mama, I’ve been looking for you, common! How are you doing? I love you, mama. That’s my phenomenal daughter right here,” he stated, climbing down the stairs into the living room and planting a kiss on the child’s forehead who sat on the sofa, drinking water from a glass.

As he conversed with the daughter, the cook walked in with several wraps of fufu and egusi soup, placed them on the table in front of Mercy, and said; “Phenomenal, your food don ready o!”

Turning his back to look at the food, Okocha was alarmed at the sight of fufu leading him to inquire about to whom the meal belonged.

Okocha proceeded to probe the cook and called out to another, screaming at the top of his lungs as he questioned them over the mountainous ‘fufu’ placed before his child.

They maintained the enormous meal belonged to small madam, leaving the dotting father aghast as to how the ‘shit got into the crib in the first place’.

‘Daddy I’m craving for fufu’ was the next statement that was uttered startling the actor seeing it came from his ‘phenomenal doura’

He lets out a loud signature scream which he accompanies with a hilarious facial expression.

Then he said to the daughter, ‘Listen your cravings die right now. Ain’t no way you’re gonna eat this. Listen, what’s the difference between this and human hair?

He faces the men, accuses them of wanting to ‘kill his doura because they ain’t gat kids’, reaches out for the china ware with the fufu, and threw them on the floor.”

‘My phenomenal doura, ain’t no way she’s eating this shit, ain’t no way’, he continued to rant.

“I’m calling the doctors right now, my daughter is traumatised; she can’t see me.”

While waving his hand in from of his daughter, he asked, “Mama, can you see me?” While his teenage daughter simply let out a smile.”

Universal music star, Wizkid has confessed disliking musical promotion and everything related to press releases.

The songster, a prominent figure in the modern-day Afrobeats music scene, made the remark in a recently surfaced old video from 2021 where he also bragged about recording some massive hit tracks like Ojuelegba, Holla at Your Boy and others simply seated comfortably in the studio.

He explained he didn’t see the need to promote his music because he has a good knowledge of what the audience wants and that’s exactly what he gives to them.
