WHO IS MASKED RAPPER, DIDE?

Football and music enthusiasts are trying to figure out who the masked rapper who claims to be a top-flight player really is. The musician, DIDE, has put out three music videos, one of which has received over a million views on Youtube.YouTube.

Football aficionados will be quick to point out that there isn’t a Premier League player by the name of Dide, which has caused a social media frenzy as people try to identify the singer.

Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah is among the names being bandied about by fans so far. According to supporters, the name Dide is an anagram of Eddi.

Others assert that the singer is a Gunners player because the song’s lyrics, which refer to their title rivalry with Manchester City, state things like “my team stay winning” and “every game is like a final.”

Since the music video is also set in London, some have speculated that the actor may be Noni Madueke, a recent Chelsea recruit, or Wilfried Zaha, a star player for Crystal Palace.

The rapper just posted a new picture on his Instagram with the caption, “It’s about time we think outside of the box” – suggesting he isn’t a striker like Nketiah.

Several have also claimed that DIDE’s assertion is a publicity gimmick, as evidenced by his social media where he gained nearly 75K Instagram followers after claiming to be a “Rapper at home Footballer on the pitch” in his bio.
