Nigerian football star Victor Osimhen, currently shining at Galatasaray, has opened up about his unique pre-game routine that keeps him motivated before matches.

The prolific striker admitted that music plays a crucial role in his preparations, with tracks from Olamide, Nas, and Damian Marley dominating his playlist.

During a candid conversation on the Smallie YouTube Channel, the Super Eagles forward shared insights into his musical preferences and their impact on his performance.

Osimhen explained: “From childhood, I was completely focused on pursuing football as my career.

“Olamide’s music consistently features in my pre-game sessions. I also mix in some Nas and Damian Marley—’Strong Will’ particularly resonates with me and gives me that extra push.

“This track has become essential to my matchday routine, serving as a powerful motivator when I’m preparing to compete.

“Among Olamide’s tracks, ‘King Shit’ stands out for me pre-game: ‘Don’t stress about tomorrow, let go of your worries, forget borrowed shoes and clothes’—those lyrics really speak to me.”
