Pheelz, a singer and music producer, has protested when his song was used to advertise Chelsea FC’s purchase of midfielder Moses Caicedo. The signing of Caicedo by the London club was announced on Monday, with Pheelz’s track ‘Finesse’ featuring BNXN (previously known as Buju) included in the announcement video uploaded on social media. Pheelz, who has transitioned from a producer to a vocalist, protested on Twitter, writing,
“Not @ChelseaFC using my song to announce the most expensive signing in the EPL right now!” MY HEAD HAS BURST”
In February, Pheelz released the album Pheelz Good, which included the popular singles ‘Finesse’ and ‘Electricity.’ Meanwhile, Arsenal Football Club recently announced a freshly signing player, Declan Rice, with the help of a hit song “Declan Rice” by Nigerian rapper Tochukwu Ojogwu, also known as Odumodublvck. Rice completed his transfer from West Ham United to Arsenal on Saturday for a sum of £105 million, the largest transfer fee paid by the North London club for a player.
The football club shared a video of Rice’s introduction on Twitter, with the popular tune “Declan Rice” by Odumodublvck playing in the background. The rapper, who is known for his genre-blending skills, also congratulated the footballer on social media.
