Osimhen on Burna Boy comparison
In an interview with CBS's Morning Footy, Osimhen discussed Nigerian pop culture.
He also already knows what his next steps in his career are, suggesting the Premier League as a potential suitor.
The CBS presenters asked him how he compares to Nigerian singer, songwriter and record producer Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu MFR, known professionally as Burna Boy.
The question was tailored as to who would be more recognized if they were out in Lagos.
He responded, “I think for me, it’s a different world. The music world is different from football.
"If I go out, they will know me as well as Burna Boy. We’ve done so well for ourselves to be very recognizable.”
“I used to walk around with my security just to relax and interact with these people. Because they made us; without their support, I don’t think we’d be able to get to where we are today.”
Osimhen rates Asake and Omah Lay
In a portion of the interview, Osimhen talked about the rise of Nigerian Afrobeats music.
He was asked about new acts that could succeed Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy.
The striker at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast would mention Asake, Omah Lay, and Seyi Vibez.
Osimhen re-signed a contract with the Italian team in December of last year, extending until 2026 and containing a $143 million release clause.
Osimhen returns to action when the Super Eagles of Nigeria take on the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in an AFCON Round of 16 fixture.
