Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka has sparked widespread reactions on social media after revealing that he had never heard of legendary Canadian singer Celine Dion during a recent studio conversation with Nigerian music star Tems.
The moment occurred during the first episode of Arsenal’s new media series, The Link-Up, where Saka and Tems engaged in a light-hearted discussion about music influences and personal tastes.
During the conversation, Tems spoke about the artists who inspired her growing up and mentioned Dion as one of her musical idols. Responding to the comment, the England international footballer said, “I don’t know who that is,” a remark that visibly surprised the Grammy-winning singer.
The exchange quickly drew attention online after clips from the conversation circulated across social media platforms, with fans reacting with humour and disbelief over Saka’s unfamiliarity with the globally celebrated vocalist.
The discussion took place at the iconic Abbey Road Studios, where the two stars met alongside renowned Ghanaian music producer GuiltyBeatz.
During the session, Saka also shared insights into his musical preferences, noting that he regularly listens to Afrobeats and naming artists such as Tems, Asake and Burna Boy among his favourites.
Dion, widely regarded as one of the most influential voices in global pop music, rose to international prominence with numerous chart-topping hits and award-winning performances, making Saka’s admission an unexpected moment that quickly became a talking point among fans online.
