Barcelona’s teenage football sensation, Lamine Yamal, has revealed his deep appreciation for Afrobeats music—naming Burna Boy and Rema as his top picks in the genre.
“I listen to Afro music a lot,” Yamal shared in a recent interview. When asked to name his favorite artists, he replied without hesitation: “Burna [Boy] and Rema.”
Yamal’s shoutout is the latest example of Afrobeats’ explosive global appeal, with Nigerian artists like Burna Boy and Rema continuing to make waves far beyond Africa’s borders.
From stadiums to streaming charts, Afrobeats is now a worldwide force—and clearly, even football’s brightest young stars are vibing with it.
