Masked rapper Dide rose to fame at the start of 2023, claiming also to be a Premier League footballer. With frenzied speculation about his identity - or whether he's just come up with a very clever marketing strategy - Sky News meets him for his first on-camera interview.
Dressed in what appears to be a very expensive designer track top, from the neck down the man in front of me certainly looks the part of professional footballer on a day off. Box-fresh white Nikes, baggy shorts over sports tights and gloves complete the look - along with the studded black rose mask concealing his identity. This is Dide, an incognito rapper who started releasing music online earlier in 2023. Why the mystery? Because, he claims, he is also a current Premier League player.
Music, he reveals, is a passion for a lot of players behind the scenes but was never something he always planned to pursue seriously. 'One day we had training, we had the day off the next day, me and my teammates thought: why not? Let's go studio... It kind of just progressed into what it is. It wasn't really something I planned to do, but it's just another way of expressing myself.' Clarifying, he says his teammates remain in the dark.
