Revealed: Why Paul Pogba Challenged Burna Boy

The self-proclaimed African giant has been in the news lately, and this time it is with the Manchester United midfielder

France World Cup winner Paul Pogba has challenged Nigeria music star Burna Boy to participate in the #Pepsichallenge.

The two superstars are part of the recent Pepsi advertisement for the UEFA Champions League. Pogba featured alongside Lionel Messi, Jadon Sancho and Shanice van de Sanden.

Meanwhile, Becky G and Burna Boy collaborated for the advert’s soundtrack, which is titled Rotate. The advert’s visuals showed the players displaying their football skills to the beat while jumping out of posters and magazines.

The advert has now created a #Pepsichallenge, to which Pogba has now challenged Burna Boy to show his football skills.  In a video posted on Pepsi’s Twitter account, Pogba was seen calling out Burna Boy to join the challenge.

Burna responded to the challenge by telling the former Juventus to give him a few hours. The ‘On the low’ crooner said; Incoming bro. Gimme a couple of hours lol, with a laughing and football emoji.
