Osimhen disclosed this in a chat posted on POOJAMEDIA Twitter handle.
The Serie A winner with Napoli explained how he prepares himself for game by listening to Olamide and also a popular song by Damian Marley (son of late Bob Marley) which featured American rapper Nas.
“First of all like during my spare time after lunch we are relaxing for like two, three hours before the final meeting to get to the stadium, I listen to Olamide’s rap he’s done in recent years that is inspirational to me. Olamide is my best musician actually in Nigeria, I use to listen to him I have his playlist.
“Then after before I go for the team meeting I say my prayers and when we are in the bus I use to listen to Nas and Damian Marley’s ‘Only The Strong Survive’.

“When I listen to these songs I always put it in my head that I’m going for war everytime, when I’m playing I’m going for war. It’s not like I’m going there to die or someone is going to die but I feel like only the strong means I want to win I don’t want to lose.
“These are the songs that I actually listen to that really psych me up.“
Osimhen helped Napoli win the Serie A title for the first time since 1990.
He won the golden boot award after scoring 26 goals in the Italian topflight.
