Ibaka&#8217;s venture into music is succeeding admirably, just like many of the things he has done since joining the NBA.<\/p>\n<p>The lead track on Ibaka&#8217;s tape, &#8220;Champion,&#8221; which features French rapper Ninho as the voiceover, grabs attention. The song was launched in February 2021. However, since Ibaka&#8217;s project dropped, its popularity has increased on streaming services.\u00a0One of the more well-known tracks from Ibaka&#8217;s debut 15-track album Art, which was published last week, is Champion, which was first made available in early 2021 and featured French rapper Ninho. Due to Ibaka&#8217;s Congolese heritage, the majority of the song (and album) is in French; yet, the sweet, sensual sounds of Afrobeats are undeniable, giving fans the familiar mood they have come to expect from some of the genre&#8217;s finest singers.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">nothing but love for serge ibaka. raptors champion forever and always.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; William Lou (@william_lou) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/william_lou\/status\/1330369119816966145?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 22, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>Essence Of The Song<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To live and die like a champion &#8211; the others didn&#8217;t even believe it, like an eagle I flew above the sky to feed the familia,&#8221; was the gist of what they said.
