Super Falcon forward, Asisat Oshoala, paid tribute to the late singer MohBad on Saturday after her club, Barcelona, defeated Granada 6-1 in the Spanish Liga F.
Oshoala, widely regarded as one of the greatest African female footballers of all time, scored two goals in the second half and celebrated by showing off a shirt with MohBad’s face.
She later shared a picture of herself on the pitch on Instagram, with the caption, “Double for Imole ⚽⚽🫡… Keep resting young king 🙏🏽❤️ #LightBoy.”
MohBad was a Nigerian rapper, singer, and songwriter who died on September 12 at 27. His death sparked an outpouring of grief and tributes from fans and fellow artists across Nigeria.
She also expressed her condolences to his family and friends on Twitter, writing, “Rest in peace MohBad. You will always be remembered. Your music lives on. #LightBoyForever.“
Oshoala is currently the top scorer in the Spanish Liga F with 12 goals in seven games. She helped Barcelona win the UEFA Women’s Champions League last season, becoming the first African woman to achieve the feat.
She has also won five African Women’s Footballer of the Year awards, more than any other player in history.
