Kudos, knocks as Alex Iwobi drops second single, ‘What’s Luv?’

Super Eagles and Fulham midfielder Alex Iwobi has ventured further into music with the release of his second single, ‘What’s Luv?’

This is following the success of his debut track, “Don’t Shoot,” which made him the first Premier League player to officially release music.

His latest single ‘What’s Luv?’ posted via his social media handles on Thursday is a celebration of African culture, blending Afro-Swing with rap elements and features collaborations with friends SPKS and MBrown.

Speaking to The Standard UK on Thursday Iwobi said, “Music has always been a passion of mine, and a way for me to express myself away from football,” he said.

“Music is a great tool, and I’ve always used it as a productive way to share how I feel. Historically no Premier League player has brought out music with their name and face attached to it, but I like to be different and make a difference.

“Growing up in an area of London that is challenging for some people, I know how hard it can be and I’m grateful to have a platform to try and make a difference.

Iwobi hopes his music will inspire others to pursue their dreams and stay positive.

“Alongside the work we do in the community, I hope that my music is another way of proving that young people do not have to feel they have to fit in just one box.

“I want them to be encouraged to achieve their dreams, to put their focus into positive things. Creating music doesn’t take anything away from my football, it helps me switch off.

“I will always work hard and try to improve in my sport, but this is a good use of my spare time.”

Meanwhile, since the release, netizens have aired their opinions on Iwobi and the song.
