Shallipopi hails Harvey Elliot
Recall that OSG had earlier reported that English midfielder Harvey Elliott sparked a bit of buzz online with his recent post, where he was spotted celebrating Liverpool’s EPL triumph.
In the caption of the post shared on his social media handle, he tagged himself the “Minister of Enjoyment”, a catchy phrase coined by Nigerian singer, Shallipopi’s and made popular through his hit track, Laho.
The post quickly caught the attention of Shallipopi himself, who went on to repost it. Shallipopi is not the first Afrobeats artist to gain massive support and traction from International footballers, especially Premier League players.
Harvey Elliot recently made history along with his Liverpool teammates like Mo Salah as part of the squad to win their first EPL title in 30 years and their second within four seasons.
