which football player hides under the mask of rapper Dide?

New UK hip-hop sensation Dide, who released just one track in early April titled Thrill, (“the thrill” in French) has been stirring up the entire English football championship for two weeks. For what ? Because this flow belongs to a Premier League footballer. In any case, this is how the rapper describes himself on social networks.

But the mystery remains total because… He wears a mask! A black mask, adorned with metal flowers and gloves. Impossible to recognize him. This obviously arouses the curiosity of the whole of the United Kingdom and speculation is rife on social networks.

A Brit for sure

Given the accent, it is a British player. According to many internet users, his music video is shot in the streets of London. Added to some lyrics of his song that say: “Follow me because my team wins all the time”, “Every match is like a final”, Internet users are betting on an Arsenal player.

But others suspect another player of being the masked rapper: the Englishman Sheyi Ojo, this young 25-year-old striker, trained in Liverpool and loaned to many teams, notably at the Stade de Reims during the 2018-2019 season. , where he had played 18 games and scored one goal. In the English top flight, Sheyi Ojo only had a whirlwind stint with Liverpool. He mainly played in the 2nd division, again this season with the Welsh team of Cardiff City.

Betrayed by a tattoo?

Internet users made freeze frames of Dide’s clip and zoomed in on his right forearm. We spot a tattoo that protrudes from his jacket sleeve, a kind of black triangle, very similar to the one that fans have spotted on the right forearm of Sheyi Ojo, photographed in a shirt. A diamond tattoo whose tip looks suspiciously like what we see in Dide’s clip. And then we spot on some images of the clip a small braid that protrudes from the mask. Sheyi Ojo has braids. For many, the mystery is solved. However, neither the rapper nor the footballer have yet confirmed.
