Fans and followers of Nigerian singer Ayo Balogun, aka Wizkid, could not contain their joy over a trending video of some Newcastle United players grooving to a hit song Show Me The Money by the Afrobeats star released in 2017.
The short clip shared by Newcastle player William Osula showed him and some of his colleagues, including the English club’s top striker Alexander Isak, displaying their dance moves.
William, who has Nigerian roots, brought his ‘Naija groove’ to play, dishing out some energetic dance steps. However, Isak’s attempt to imitate William left many Nigerians laughing as they dropped funny comments.
The dance video emerged on social media hours after Newcastle United secured their first domestic trophy for 70 years and ended a wait for a major prize stretching back to 1969.
The Magpies won the Carabao Cup in a final match against Liverpool at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, March 16.
Recall that Newcastle defender Dan Burn opened the goalscoring in the first half with a brilliant header, coming days after he earned his first England national team call-up under the Three Lions’ new head coach Thomas Tuchel.
In-form striker Alexander Isak doubled the lead in the second half before Italian attacker Frederico Chiesa pulled one back for the Reds, but it was too little too late.
