"I like to listen to Ofori Aponsa. He’s an old school musician. But right now, Migos is my guy. In Africa, Omah Lay and many Nigerian artists doing good music right now, like WizKid, Burna Boy. Of course Sarkodie the legend," said the budding football.
“American music, my favourite artist is Drake and Pop Smoke – because you can feel the energy in his music but he sadly passed away," he added.
