Nigerian artistes Davido, Falz and other celebrities have celebrated Arsenal’s historic English Premier League (EPL) title win after 22 years.
The title was confirmed after Manchester City drew at Bournemouth on Monday.
The long-awaited triumph has triggered massive reactions from Nigerian entertainment icons and political figures on social media.
Davido led the celebration with a post on his X page: “BACK A GUNNER!!!”

However, the declaration drew light-hearted mockery from rival fans who questioned his silence during the club’s trophy drought.
Other celebrities who joined the frenzy include Falz, Seun Kuti, Tiwa Savage, Banky W and Timi Dakolo.
Timi Dakolo specifically hailed Arsenal’s first league title since their famous “Invincibles” season in 2004.
Beyond the entertainment industry, political figures also joined the celebration. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar congratulated the club, highlighting the values of resilience and discipline.
Former Governor Rauf Aregbesola also celebrated on his X handle, writing: “Twenty-two years in the making! What a time to be alive. Congratulations.”
The result left Manchester City four points behind Arsenal with only one game remaining, making it impossible for them to catch Mikel Arteta’s side.
