His “Lambo” freestyle, a brief yet infectious track, emerged amid controversy allegedly involving Lagos socialite Sophia Egbueje, who claimed the artist promised her a Lamborghini during their relationship—a promise she alleged he failed to fulfil.
Despite the controversy, the freestyle’s catchy chorus and playful energy resonated with fans worldwide, including the French footballers seen in the video.
Dressed in their team tracksuits, the athletes engage in light-hearted banter in French before seamlessly transitioning into singing “Lambo” word for word, demonstrating their familiarity with the track.
This is not the first collaboration between Burna Boy and football stars; he recently teamed up with Real Madrid players for a dance session.
