“I’ll throw him under the bus” – Fulham ace Alex Iwobi slams Super Eagles star’s taste in music

Nigeria midfielder Alex Iwobi has aimed a playful dig at Calvin Bassey’s taste in music, tagging it the worst in the Fulham dressing room, Soccernet.ng reports.

Iwobi and Bassey are best of pals, with their friendship blossoming after they joined Fulham last season – Iwobi from Everton and Bassey from Ajax.

The two friends featured prominently for the Cottagers as Marco Silva’s side finished just outside of the top half in the Premier League.

As international teammates, both Bassey and Iwobi played crucial roles as Nigeria reached the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

However, Iwobi takes exception to Bassey’s taste in music, rather hailing Tosin Adarabioyo as the unofficial DJ in the Fulham dressing room. Adarabioyo has moved to Chelsea this summer.

When asked, in a chat with Harvey Marwood of Mixtape Madness, who has the best and worst music taste at Fulham, Iwobi responded,

“Okay, okay… Tosin was usually on the music so he could accommodate everyone, he had the best. I’m going to add him to the list but Calvin Bassey man…

“I like his music sometimes but other times he’s playing some heavy drills – I’m thinking… bro are you ready for football or ready to clamp a man down – I’m going to throw him under the bus here.”

While Adarabioyo was the player often connected to the Bluetooth speaker in the Fulham changing rooms, Iwobi confessed that AC Milan’s Samuel Chukwueze plays the role for the Super Eagles.

“In Fulham, it’s either one of the physios or it would have been Tosin Adarabioyo, but obviously, Tosin has now gone to Chelsea,” Iwobi added.

“I’m not sure who it’s going to be next season, you’ll have to stay tuned. In the Nigeria changing rooms, it’s Samuel Chukwueze who plays for AC Milan.”

Outside of football, Iwobi is gradually fueling his music career. The former Arsenal man released his debut single “Don’t Shoot” featuring Ajax striker Chuba Akpom and Don EE at the start of June.
