Giving back: Afrobeats superstar Patoranking builds mini stadium in Ebutte Meta

Aftobeats and reggae-dancehall superstar Patoranking has built a mini stadium in Ebutte Metta where he grew up, as a way of giving back to the community, Soccernet.ng reports.

Patoranking blew into the limelight in 2013, after his first hit song Alubarika. And since then, he has become a force in the music industry. He has gone on to release other hit tracks like Abule, Confirm, Himself, among others.

Right now, Patoranking is one of the big names in the music industry, but he has not always had the fame and the wealth. The 34-year-old was raised in a family of eight in the Ebutte Metta area of Lagos state, and he struggled to make ends meet. In fact, he had to withdraw from the university because of financial constraints.

However, all that is a thing of the past, as Patoranking recently graduated from Havard Business School.

Meanwhile, in a new development, Patoranking revealed via his social media page, a mini stadium which he built in Ebutte Metta. He did it as a way of giving back to the community. Patoranking has never hidden his love for the community, as he even mentioned the area in one of his hit songs Ebutte Metta.

Patoranking is a big football lover and a die-hard Arsenal fan. He even had the honor of presenting a Player of the Month award to Zinchenko in 2023. The 34-year-old performed at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
