Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Damini Ogulu, better known as Burna Boy, has shared his football favourites, revealing that he does not subscribe to the long-running Lionel Messi versus Cristiano Ronaldo debate.
Speaking in a recent interview with ESPN, the Dai Dai singer named former Nigerian captain Jay Jay Okocha as the greatest footballer of all time.
Asked who he considers the best player in history, Burna Boy said, “I will say Jay Jay Okocha. It is between him and Pele. I am not doing that Ronaldo or Messi stuff.”
The Afrobeats star also named England captain Harry Kane as his favourite striker of all time.
Burna Boy further revealed that Manchester United is the club he supports, while Barcelona teenage sensation Lamine Yamal is, in his view, the best young player in the world.
He added that midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is his favourite current Manchester United player.
