Fatawu Issahaku drops hot bars in London

In a video shared by officialmeatpie18 on Instagram and seen by YEN.com.gh, the Leicester City forward is seen confidently dropping bars in the heart of the UK capital.

Dressed in classic streetwear, with a green crossbody bag and matching cap typical of artists, Fatawu oozed charisma as he took on high-tempo beats with ease.

Channelling his inner Sarkodie, the young Ghanaian flowed effortlessly, even switching things up mid-performance by infusing a ragga twist into his delivery.

The street performer he joined cheered him on using Patois slang, adding to the vibrant energy of the moment.

Watch the video:

It wasn’t all about entertainment. The lively freestyle was also for a good cause.

Fatawu later revealed via Instagram Stories that he aimed to help a fellow performer raise more funds on the street. He captioned the clip:

"I had joined a brother to help get more money on the street."

His musical detour joins a growing trend among Ghanaian public figures, especially musicians, who often show off their talents in casual, open-air settings abroad. Fatawu just added a football twist to that tradition.

Fatawu Issahaku braces himself for new season

Away from the mic, the talented winger had been enjoying a solid campaign with the Foxes until misfortune struck.

During Ghana’s 1-1 draw against Angola in the AFCON 2025 qualifiers, Fatawu sustained a serious anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, which ended his season.

Despite undergoing surgery, he was unable to return in time to help Leicester avoid relegation.

The setback didn’t dampen his optimism, though. He remains hopeful that both he and the Foxes will bounce back stronger when the new season kicks off in the Championship.

Fatawu will have to adapt to fresh leadership next season.

After weeks of speculation, Leicester City officially parted ways with Dutch manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, as reported by talkSPORT.

The change adds another layer of uncertainty, but it could also be a chance for a new beginning.
