British Rapper Dave Disses Nigerian Strikers in New Album

British rapper Dave is causing waves with a controversial line in his new album The Boy Who Play The Harp.

On the track Chapter 16, Dave compares Nigerian strikers to women who lie about their age, rapping that some footballers are not honest about theirs.

The lyric has sparked a storm online, with fans debating whether he went too far.

Though born in the UK, Dave has Nigerian roots through his parents from Edo State.

He has worked with Nigerian stars like Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Tems, who features on the new album.

Age-cheating scandals in Nigerian football are no secret.

They have occurred at all levels, even hitting the national teams hard.

At one point, the under-17 men’s team was disbanded after widespread age fraud came to light.

Dave’s fans are now divided, some praising his bold honesty, others slamming him for generalising about Nigerian players.
