Alex Iwobi revealed that he began his musical journey at the age of 14 while pursuing a professional football career.
In an interview with TheCable, the Super Eagles midfielder shared insights about his passion for music, which he recently showcased to his millions of followers.
In March 2024, Iwobi introduced his rap persona, “17,” with a brief clip demonstrating his skills over a UK Drill instrumental. He later released a lively track titled “Don’t Shoot” in June 2024. Iwobi explained that growing up in London, it was common to either play football or become an artist, and he engaged in both.
He expressed that while his musical talent may come as a surprise to many, he has been creating music for years and has numerous unreleased songs. Iwobi mentioned that his team would decide the best time to release more of his music.
