Nigerian singer Zlatan has joined the chorus of praise for Lamine Yamal, a 16-year-old Spanish footballer making waves at the European Championship.
Basically, the young athlete's impressive skills have earned him comparisons to his Nigerian peers. Many noted that while Lamine is excelling in football, his Nigerian counterparts might be struggling with basic life tasks.
Meanwhile, Zlatan joked that his four-year-old son, Shiloh, won't be allowed to rest until he achieves similar success. Also, Zlatan's admiration for Lamine Yamal is shared by many online. While some highlighted the teenager's unique background - having been bathed as a child by none other than football legend Lionel Messi.
This unusual connection has led some to believe that Lamine was destined for stardom, having been "baptized" by Messi himself.
