Nigerian Afrobeats artist Rema recently garnered attention at a basketball game in Paris by listing his top three footballers of all time.

Rema, renowned for chart-topping songs such as Calm Down and Dumebi, expressed his admiration for the three football legends Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Kylian Mbappe during a basketball event interview in Paris.

The Nigerian artist has a great deal of respect for the Argentine footballer, specifically mentioning his experience at both Manchester United and Manchester City.

The mention of Tevez in his list gives it a distinctive flavour, highlighting his genuine enthusiasm for football. In addition to his widespread music achievements, Rema remains committed to building a connection with his fans through his passion for sport and its iconic athletes.
