Making his stance clear, Burna Boy said he was "not doing that Ronaldo and Messi stuff," choosing Okocha over the two global football legends.
The music star also revealed his picks in other football categories, highlighting Harry Kane, teenage sensation Lamine Yamal and Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo among the players he admires.
Burna Boy further reaffirmed his loyalty to Manchester United, sharing his support for the Premier League club during the interview.
His comments have sparked fresh conversations among football fans, with many Nigerians applauding his decision to honour Okocha's legacy, while others reignited the age-old debate over who truly deserves the title of football's greatest player.
