Nigerian football star Victor Osimhen has sparked a wave of online reactions after a video surfaced showing him energetically dancing and singing along to Yinka Ayefele’s 2005 gospel hit, Beru Ba Mope.
The viral clip captures the Napoli striker, currently on loan to Turkish champions Galatasaray, vibing enthusiastically to the song from Ayefele’s Fulfilment album.
Osimhen, who recently celebrated a league and cup double, appeared to know the lyrics by heart—particularly one verse that resonated with fans:
“Let people say whatever they want. I’ll just keep watching.
That’s their business. Mine is to keep progressing.”
Many interpreted Osimhen’s choice of lyrics as a subtle response to recent family controversy.
A man named John, who claims to be related to the footballer and a former classmate, recently alleged in an interview that Osimhen had turned his back on his extended family.
He further claimed that community members once raised funds to support Osimhen’s father, Patrick, following his wife’s death so that traditional marriage rites could be completed.
Gospel icon Yinka Ayefele acknowledged the viral video by reposting it on his social media page, captioning it:
“Victor Osimhen vibing to YINKA AYEFELE’S FULFILMENT. #viralreels Victor Osimhen.”
The video continues to trend across platforms, generating both praise for Osimhen’s dance moves and discussion about the meaning behind his song choice amid personal controversy.
