Singer Ykee Benda has drawn a surprising line between the two worlds that dominate his life: music and football.
While he believes both have the power to bring people together, Ykee says football goes a step further by creating genuine friendships between people who might otherwise never cross paths.
Appearing on NBS After 5, the Arsenal fan argued that music may open doors, but football creates connections that last beyond the final whistle.
The number one celebrity in the world plays football. Music and football cause chaos in the world. Music gives you favour, but football can make you friends that you do not even know like that.
To him, the proof is in the everyday moments.
A conversation about a match, a shared celebration after a goal or even supporting the same club can turn complete strangers into friends within minutes.
Someone can just walk into a place, sit with you and leave with your number because you had a small conversation that you both agree to.
That, Ykee says, is where football separates itself from music.
He believes fans can argue passionately over their favourite teams and still walk away laughing, while disagreements in the music industry are far more likely to leave lasting divisions.
