The musician/rapper, who goes by the name ‘Dide’, has been mustering attention for himself. The masked man, who claims to be a Premier League player, recently released his first single, ‘Thrill’. Unsurprisingly, the video has already hit over 2 million views. Fans have been after the identity of the masked celebrity, and have brought Bukayo Saka, Wilfred Zaha, Michail Antonio, and Alex Iwobi into the discussion.

The Premier League is on no shortage of celebrities. From golfers to musicians and models, players have started to engage in other fields of interest, focusing on football. Several players also run their own fashion brands and other product lines. More recently, fans of the League have shifted their attention to a ‘mystery’ man. The masked man has been stealing deadlines for the past few weeks.

However, Arsenal‘s Eddie Nketiah is most likely to be the man behind the masked celebrity. Moreover, fans noticed a unique tattoo on Dide’s neck which they have identified as a Premier League player.

Sheyi Ojo, a former Liverpool graduate has identical wrist tattoos as seen on Dide, noticed by a few eagle-eyed fans. However, there has been no official comment on the same.

Dide speaks to the media for the first time

Viral rapper and Premier League player Dide has risen to fame in early 2023. The artist’s signature look is an intricate mask to conceal his identity. After numerous attempts to ‘unmask’ the artist, popular media platform ‘Sky Sports’ has arranged an in-person interview with the star. However, instead of keeping a low-profile interview in a studio, the artist chose an open stadium where he could show off his skills as well.

Moreover, he added that ‘the concealment is not to trick people’ and that the main thing for him is not the football but the music

He said: 

You don't really get to have a life outside of the pitch. There are always eyes on you. Very few people know [about Dide].

Moreover, he claims that this protects other footballers as well as him.

As to his identity, he said: 

I might reveal myself in the future. Who knows?

He names music and creates songs as his therapy. He also shed light on the design of his mask as Dide said his mask features roses because his favorite color is rose gold. Further, he also added that his music will start to make sense when he releases the rest of his songs soon.
