Iwobi explains first meeting with Wizkid
According to the former Arsenal Midfielder Wizkid’s London show sometime ago was his best outing, despite not being able to meet with him when the Grammy award winner was in London for the show.
“Wizkid’s show at Tottenham stadium is my favorite Nigerian show, I really enjoyed myself. I didn’t get to meet him that day. But I’ve met him previous times and he’s a very nice and very humble guy,” he told Oma TV and was quoted by Daily Post Nigeria.
“The first time I met him, he showed me love when he first met me even though he didn’t know who I was at the time. I’ve seen him in stores and even in the club as well, and he has always showed me so much love. He is someone that I really respect.”
