Ivorian musician Kerozen’s wedding recently became a highlight across Africa, not just for the celebration itself, but for the presence of two African football legends: Samuel Eto’o and Didier Drogba. The two football icons—respected globally for their incredible careers and contributions to the sport—graced the event in style.
What made the ceremony even more special was a small yet powerful moment of respect and humility. When Didier Drogba arrived at the wedding, Samuel Eto’o was already seated. Upon seeing Drogba approaching to take a seat beside him, Eto’o stood up, greeted Drogba with a handshake, and then sat back down. It was a gesture that spoke volumes about their relationship: mutual respect between two giants of the game.
Despite the friendly rivalry and Samuel Eto’o’s famous statement, “Didier Drogba is a great player, but I’m the boss,” the moment captured at Kerozen’s wedding showcased the deep sense of admiration they share for one another. It’s a reminder that true greatness lies not just in achievements but in the humility and respect you show to others, even those you may see as rivals.
Their friendship and mutual respect continue to inspire fans across the continent, showing that even at the height of success, humility remains a key value.
