Baloteeli
Mario Balotelli has continued to build his contacts in the music industry by meeting up with rap star Tinchy Stryder. It’s been an eventful week for Mario (when is it not?!), having secured DJ lessons from Tim Westwood, offering to pay off people’s library fees and even reportedly paying to fill up every car on a petrol forecourt recently, declaring to fellow motorists “this one’s on me”. While the latter two have yet to be confirmed, his coming collaboration with Tinchy Stryder seems all but certain. Missing City’s game against Wigan on Monday, Mario took a trip to Stockport to meet the rapper, who has recently put a track entitled ‘Why Always Me’ on his latest EP, a song inspired by Balotelli’s off the field antics. The phrase was sported on a t-shirt Mario was wearing during City’s 6 – 1 destruction of rivals United – hours after he set off fireworks in his multimillion pound mansion. To celebrate the release of his EP, Tinchy – a United fan – has released a line of t-shirts sporting the infamous slogan. And Tinchy was also full of praise for the eccentric striker. “He’s a real cool guy and he likes his music, too…Mario’s the type of character we haven’t really had in the Premier League. He’s got a good heart and does a lot of good things”.
