Eko Dydda expresses hope his son will rise to become a football star
By Steve Ireri, February 10, 2026Contemporary gospel musician Eko Dydda has expressed hope that his son will one day rise to become a celebrated football star.
In a video shared on his official TikTok page on Tuesday, February 10, 2026, Eko Dydda highlighted the dedication and effort his son puts into his training, noting that all his hard work will one day pay off.
The musician wrote alongside the clip that he is confident his son’s commitment and practice will bear fruit.
“It will one day pay,” Eko wrote.
In the video, his son, who had dyed his hair a striking brown, is seen performing a series of professional football training drills.
One of the highlights shows him sprinting forward across the pitch, then running backwards while facing the opposite direction, demonstrating agility and control.
He also executed several football tricks while skillfully shooting the ball against the wall of the pitch.
Dydda’s birthday and album launch
The message about his son’s career comes just days after Dydda celebrated his birthday in grand style with a star-studded concert on Saturday, January 31, 2026, that also doubled as the launch of his new album, Pastor Kwa Hoodie.
The celebration was marked by elegance, glamour, and a seemingly coordinated theme of white. Almost every guest, especially the TikTokers in attendance, opted for white outfits, giving the venue a strikingly uniform and stylish look.
Leading the TikTok contingent was Rachael Otuoma, who arrived with her close friends Bancy and Kawira, all dressed in crisp white ensembles, adding youthful vibrancy and energy to the evening.
The event kicked off with a grand red-carpet entrance, as Dydda walked in alongside his sons, instantly drawing the attention of media and attendees.
Dydda and his sons, dressed in immaculate white suits, looked jubilant as they posed for photographs, setting the tone for the evening’s celebrations.
A standout moment came when Dyda’s children performed an electrifying dance routine to some of their father’s top hits, wowing the crowd with sleek and energetic moves.
Among the high-profile guests were Dyda’s gospel colleagues, including Moji Short Baba, Guardian Angel and his wife, Esther Musila.
Guardian Angel made a statement in a custom blue tracksuit, while budding singer Stivo Simple Boy delivered a lively beat performance that kept the audience entertained.
Dancehall singer Timmy T-Dat also graced the event, accompanied by a sharply dressed woman, further adding to the star-studded atmosphere.
