The former Stoke City midfielder admitted that he did not necessarily have the culture of a pre-game playlist, but when questioned about the artistes he listens to the most, he mentioned Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy, Teni, Yemi Alade, and, when suggested, Tiwa Savage.
“I don’t really play too much music before games. I would say Davido, I would say Wizkid, Burna Boy, Teni, is it Teniola? Yemi Alade.”

The father of twins told Pulse Sports that trainers were a pertinent part of his wardrobe, given his love for them for footwear, before going on to mention shoes, pants, suits, ties, boxers, t-shirts and Babariga (agbada).
Mikel made sure to emphasise the importance of having multiple underwear, as he believes rotating between a limited number was unideal:
