The Black Stars and Leicester City youngster posted videos of him enjoying Stonebwoy's new song on May 14.

This comes several days after his team, Leicester City, suffered relegation in the English Premier League.

The team's unimpressive run this season came to a shattering end in April after a narrow defeat to Liverpool at the King Power Stadium.

Trent Alexander-Arnold's 76th-minute strike proved decisive, effectively sealing Leicester’s relegation.

Leicester City's situation was more devastating for Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, who was looking to impress with his debut EPL season.

He played a pivotal role in Leicester’s promotion last season. His hopes were curtailed after just 11 games, which included 2 assists, due to an injury sustained in November while playing for Ghana, forcing him to miss the rest of the season.

As such, the Ghanaian player and his compatriot Andre Ayew will play in the English Championship next season.

Despite Fatawu's woes, the youngster keeps his spirits high with music from his favourite Ghanaian musician, Stonebwoy.

He has always been a huge fan of Stonebwoy, together with his Black Stars teammate, Mohammed Kudus.

In his recent post, Issahaku reiterated his love for the ten-time TGMA Reggae-Dancehall Artiste of the Year award winner's lyrics.
