Popular Nigerian singer Nathaniel Bassey has reshared a video showing Milton Keynes Dons midfielder Daniel Patrick Crowley singing his song Jesus Iye at a spiritual retreat.

The viral video showed Daniel holding a microphone as he sang Nathaniel’s song word for word, with some of his footballer colleagues beating the tables like drums to encourage him.

Further reports disclosed that Dan Crowley sang the song at the Ballers in God retreat during his initiation.

The Ballers in God retreat is an annual five-day gathering where professional footballers from across Europe come together to deepen their faith, build community and recharge spiritually and mentally before returning to clubs and families.

Resharing the video on his social media page, Nathaniel Bassey dropped a funny comment about how Dan Crowley pronounced 'Baba,' a Yoruba word for Father.

"Many tags on this. Yes ooo… sing my people. Jesus all the way.. By the way, did He say “baba” or “paba” ? Repost from @ballersingod," Nathaniel Bassey wrote in caption.
