Super Eagles players attempted to convince Alex Iwobi to perform his new song, ‘What’s Luv,’ during a team dinner in Ivory Coast. Despite their efforts, Iwobi, the Fulham midfielder, politely declined, indicating that it was not the appropriate time or place for it. His teammates, Samuel Chukwueze and Victor Boniface, encouraged everyone to check out the song on YouTube, but Iwobi remained firm in his decision.
Iwobi recently released ‘What’s Luv,’ his second single, following the success of his debut track, ‘Don’t Shoot,’ which garnered nearly 60,000 streams on Spotify. The new song features collaborations with his friends SPKS and MBrown, and Iwobi promoted its availability on various streaming platforms through his social media accounts. As a seasoned player with over 250 Premier League appearances, Iwobi sees his music as a way to convey meaningful messages to young people.
His first song aimed to discourage youth from engaging in street violence, while ‘What’s Luv’ celebrates his African heritage. Growing up in a challenging area of London, Iwobi understands the struggles young people face and hopes his music inspires them to pursue their dreams and focus on positive endeavors. Despite his commitment to football, Iwobi views music as a valuable outlet to unwind and express himself creatively.
In addition to his musical pursuits, Iwobi continues to impress on the field for Fulham, starting in all nine Premier League matches this season and scoring his second goal against his former club Everton. His dedication to both football and music reflects his passion for excelling in different areas of his life. As he balances his career and artistic endeavors, Iwobi remains focused on making a positive impact on his community and inspiring others to strive for greatness.
