Super Eagles players tried but failed to make Alex Iwobi perform his latest song, ‘What’s Luv’, after a dinner at the team’s camp in Ivory Coast heading into their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying Group D clash with Benin Republic at Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny in Abidjan.
Samuel Chukwueze and Victor Boniface were more vocal, with the former harping, “What’s luv?” But their plea fell on deaf ears as the Fulham midfielder smiled broadly and tried to make them understand it was neither the right time nor place.
The former Arsenal and Everton star recently announced the release of his second single, titled ‘What’s Luv?’ following his debut single, ‘Don’t Shoot’, which has been streamed nearly 60,000 times on Spotify since it was released earlier this year.
Iwobi recently shared the news on his social media platforms, announcing that the new single, featuring collaborations with friends SPKS and MBrown, was available on streaming platforms.
The 27-year-old, who has made over 250 Premier League appearances, believes his music delivers an important message to young people.
Iwobi’s debut song was aimed at deterring youngsters from street violence, while his latest release is a “celebration of his African roots”, account to the footballer.
Iwobi has started all nine Premier League matches for Marco Silva’s Fulham this season and scored his second goal of the campaign in a 1-1 draw against his old club Everton last week.
He made the Super Eagles starting lineup against Benin Republic. The match ended in a 1-1 draw which earned Nigeria a spot in the 2025 AFCON.
