Aston Villa’s Alisha Lehmann, renowned for her skillful dribbling and goal-scoring abilities, surprised fans by showcasing her talent for rapping.
This revelation came during her appearance on the BBC series “Unlocked.”
Lehmann, the Swiss international, shared that in addition to her prowess on the field, she and her former Aston Villa teammate, Shania Hayles, have been experimenting with a rap song, offering a sneak peek into their creative venture.
“My last note?” she asked through laughter. “Me and Shania [Hayles]—she played with me last season—we wrote a little rap song. But I can’t show it,” she said. “It’s unreleased. You will hear it when it’s released.”
However, after repeated coaxing, she shared a line that went like this: “I have a necklace, right? It [says] ‘AL’,” before reading the line, ‘Strutting with my necklace on, it’s AL baby, that’s my name’.”
When asked if she would release the song, Lehmann promptly replied, “No, obviously not. I’m a footballer!”
Lehmann is an Instagram sensation and boasts of having over 16 million fans on the social media platform, which makes her one of the most followed women’s football figures globally.
Her popularity cut across celebrities, including some Hollywood A-listers.
Lehmann had earlier revealed that music sensation Drake sent her a private text message asking for a jersey, whereas, on another occasion, she was offered £90,000 by a famous celeb while she was partying at a club in Miami.
Lehmann will be eager to answer her critics on the pitch when Aston Villa host Chelsea on Saturday in the WSL after she was targeted by trolls for wearing makeup during Switzerland’s 7-1 loss to Spain.
