Music and Sport certainly share no bad blood between them. Recent times have shown and continue the show the pair work wonderfully well hand in hand.

Nigeria's entertainment Industry, however, is certainly no exception to the mix.
We've seen some of the biggest superstars in Afrobeats engage in sports and wow audiences with their performances at Live Activations, Match-Viewing experiences across the country, and even celebrity novelty matches.
