West Ham picks Nigerian music over Ghanaian music

Popular Nigerian artist Burna Boy has hit the trend table again after one of the music in his recently released album was used to unveil a Ghanaian player.

The interesting part of Kudus’ announcement was that West Ham recognised Nigerian artists more than Ghanaian artists. 

They decided to snub Ghanaian music and use the music of Grammy Award-winning Burna Boy to announce Kudus.

Burna Boy, who is one of Nigeria's top artists released a new album called “I told them” which has gone viral on social media.

One of the songs on his new album named “City Boys” was used by West Ham to welcome Kudus to the club.

Burna Boy’s song used by West Ham comes as another win for Nigerians who have always had a back-and-forth with Ghanaians on social media.

Kudus could possibly make his debut for West Ham on Friday when they travel to Luton Park for their next Premier League fixture.
