Others are also claiming that Ojo and Dide also have the same haircut.
And they posted several snaps of the rapper and playmaker to back up their theory.
The 25-year-old’s 11-year stay at Liverpool officially ended last summer when his contract expired.
After loan spells at Wigan, Wolves, Fulham, Reims, Rangers, Cardiff and Millwall, he joined the Championship Bluebirds permanently at the start of the campaign.
Dide made his introduction in February 2023 with the release of 'Intro Freestyle', which was captioned with the claim “Premier League football jumping in the UK music scene”.
Although some are still convinced that Nketiah is the man behind the mask.
And they even note that the rapper's name is an anagram for Eddi.
Some of the latest lyrics he has released are also believed to be a reference to Arsenal’s hunt for a first title triumph since 2004.
They include lines such as “my team stay winning” and “every game is like a final”.
