Haaland, the Norwegian player who eliminated Brazil from the World Cup, has already sung rap

SÃO PAULO, SP (FOLHAPRESS) - Norwegian player Erling Haaland, who scored two goals for his country's national team, which eliminated Brazil from the World Cup after this Sunday's game, already had a past as a rap singer - albeit in an amateur capacity. This past, in the last decade, circulated again on the networks after the match, with emphasis on the video for "Kygo Jo", in which Haaland sings rhymes in her native language.

Haaland formed the rap group Flow Kingz with friends Erik Botheim and Erik Tobias while at a camp for young football athletes in Norway. He was 16 years old at the time when he recorded the clip, which now has almost 20 million views on YouTube. In fact, it was the group's first and only production, which only has this video on its channel, made in an amateur way.

"I've been making music and making millions/ In fact, I bought a gas grill/ In case you were wondering, I also went to the market/ I did some shopping because I have a lot of money", say the first verses of the rap, in dialogue format, with a tone of satire on the genre's ostentation. "I'm the one you see on television/ I'm beautiful even when I'm eating", sings Haaland in another part of the song, which also makes reference to Norwegian DJ Kygo.

Haaland appears with an emoji sweatshirt and a backwards cap. With his friends, now also professional players in Europe, he appears on a pogo stick, on a volleyball court and in a children's playground, doing different choreographies without much care. Naturally, the three had no professional intentions and, as Haaland stated in interviews, the idea was simply to do something while they were bored.
