“It’s getting dark here in Nigeria. I don’t like this dark stuff.”

The American superstar is expected to still visit several other countries before the end of his tour.
His decision to wear Ademola Lookman's decision is quite befitting though. The Atalanta star has distinguished himself as one of Africa's best talents in the last three years. In fact, he won the CAF Player of the Year in 2024.
The 28-year-old forward is coming off a solid campaign with the Super Eagles at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, where he registered three goals and four assists in the run-up to their third-place finish.
He would surely be delighted to see iShowSpeed donning his shirt while in Nigeria.
