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.
Super Eagles players made an attempt to get Alex Iwobi to perform his latest song, “What’s Luv,” following a team dinner in Ivory Coast ahead of their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Benin Republic at Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny in Abidjan. However, they were unsuccessful.

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.
