Nigerian rapper Odumodu has given Arsenal fans another reason to believe that his love for the North London club runs deeper than his music career.

‘I would pick that league’

The rapper went a step further by imagining a scenario where he could personally win a Grammy but would have to give up the opportunity for Arsenal to secure the Premier League title.

Odumodu said he would still choose the Gunners.

“If I had the chance to win a Grammy Award… and they say let that West Ham goal count, or whatever, let them cancel that West Ham goal for Arsenal to win the league, which one would you pick?” he asked.

His answer was emphatic.

“I would pick that league, ahead of the Grammy Award,” he added.
