Not Your Average Rapper: Darkoo’s Journey from Football to Music

Football, not music, has always been the true love of British-Nigerian rapper and singer Oluwafisayo Isa, better known as Darkoo. In a recent podcast interview, the talented artist revealed that her journey into the music industry was a result of an unexpected turn of events.

Initially, Darkoo’s aspiration was to become a professional footballer. However, a dramatic incident during one of her matches forced her to reevaluate her priorities. “I wanted to be a footballer,” she confessed. “The last time I played football, I fainted because it was a lot of exercise.” This harrowing experience led her to decide to switch careers, pursuing her passion for music instead.

Darkoo’s entry into the music world wasn’t planned, but fate had other plans. As she shared, “Music was never the plan.” Yet, her debut single “Favourite Girl” has garnered significant attention, and her unique blend of rhythmic beats and lyrical prowess has won the hearts of many.

As a testament to her commitment to her craft, Darkoo has since dedicated herself to her music, dedicating countless hours to hone her skills and produce top-notch tracks. Despite being a relatively new name in the industry, her voice has already resonated with fans worldwide.

The remarkable journey of Darkoo, from the football pitch to the recording studio, is a testament to the unpredictability of life and the power of following one’s true passion. As this talented artist continues to flourish in the music scene, her story serves as a reminder that sometimes, taking a chance on our desires can lead to a fulfilling and successful career.

Darkoo’s music can be found on various streaming platforms, and fans can keep up with her latest endeavors through her social media profiles.
