Nigerian superstar Davido hails Napoli’s Victor Osimhen as his "GOAT," snubbing Ademola Lookman and Victor Boniface. Despite their impressive seasons, Osimhen’s Serie A triumph and record-breaking goalscoring for Nigeria earned Davido’s praise. Their close friendship further fuels the endorsement, sparking debate among football fans.

Nigerian music icon Davido has publicly hailed Napoli striker Victor Osimhen as his "GOAT," seemingly overlooking other Super Eagles stars like Ademola Lookman and Victor Boniface. Osimhen, who boasts 35 caps for Nigeria, has been a standout performer in recent years, playing a pivotal role in Napoli’s Serie A triumph and becoming the nation’s second-highest goal scorer with 21 goals.

The singer’s admiration was made clear in a social media post where he reshared a picture of Osimhen with the caption, "My GOAT." This endorsement followed Galatasaray’s narrow 1-0 win over Gaziantep, despite Osimhen not scoring in the game.

While Lookman and Boniface have had stellar seasons—Lookman leading Atalanta to Europa League glory and Boniface starring in Bayer Leverkusen’s Bundesliga campaign—Davido’s bond with Osimhen may have influenced his declaration. The two have been seen together frequently, including at Davido’s wedding reception with Chioma.

This latest endorsement has sparked debate among fans, with some agreeing with Davido's choice, while others argue that Lookman and Boniface also deserve recognition. Regardless, Osimhen’s impact on Nigerian football remains undeniable.
