Fuji Legend Kwam 1 Celebrates Arsenal's Premier League Triumph with Nigerian Anthem
Wasiu 'Kwam 1' Ayinde, Nigeria's Fuji music legend, has composed a celebratory anthem for Arsenal Football Club after they clinched the 2025/2026 Premier League title, ending a 22-year drought. The 69-year-old Arsenal fan posted the tribute video on his Instagram page on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, a day after Arsenal secured the championship following Manchester City's draw with Bournemouth on Tuesday night.
In the song, Kwam 1 specifically praised Nigerian players who contributed to Arsenal's success: Bukayo Saka, Noni Madueke, Eberechi Eze, and Ethan Nwaneri. The lyrics celebrate the championship victory while honoring these players' contributions throughout the season.
Arsenal's triumph marked Manager Mikel Arteta's first EPL title, capping his rebuild that began in December 2019. The Gunners ended a drought that stretched back to the iconic 'Invincibles' campaign under Arsène Wenger in 2003/04. The team still has one match remaining against Crystal Palace, where they may receive a traditional guard of honor.
This cultural celebration highlights the growing global influence of Nigerian talent in sports and entertainment, connecting Nigerian fans worldwide to the Premier League success through traditional music expression.
