The Manchester United and England legend has declared his love for Afrobeats and Afro-pop
Rio Ferdinand was one of the stars of the show last month, as Guinness Night Football came to a conclusion in a glittering Pan African extravaganza in Lagos.
Team Bold United defeated Team Gold Harp 3-2 in a thrilling 5-a-side final, while performing artists Bebe Cool, Salatiel, Peruzzi, DJ Neptune, Sauti Sol and Do2dtun regaled those in attendance with their biggest hits.
Nigerian hip-hop prodigy Davido was also popular among the fans, although even he was enthralled by the presence of Ferdinand, who won six Premier League titles during 12 years with Manchester United.
