Nigerian international footballer Alex Iwobi has officially unveiled his debut studio album, titled “More to Life.”
The nine-track project was released under the pseudonym “17”, a clear tribute to the jersey number the attacking midfielder wears for English Premier League club Fulham. The album features guest collaborations with several Nigerian artists, including FIDO, 24AM, GIDDI, and SPKS.
Iwobi is no stranger to the music booth. In 2024, the Super Eagles star featured on Odumodublvck’s street anthem “Hop Out” before stepping out with his own solo singles, “What’s Luv?” and “Track Zero”
