Paris Saint-Germain player Thiago Silva has responded to a video of a fan named Alex joining UK rapper Dave onstage, meticulously rapping every word to ‘Thiago Silva’ – a song written in honour of the man himself.
Dave called Alex Mann up to the stage at the world-famous festival after spotting the fan wearing a Thiago Silva PSG football shirt. He called out: “I see a PSG shirt over there, but do you know the lyrics? He looks like he knows the lyrics. Yeah, let’s take a chance.”
Luckily, the excited fan more than rose to the challenge and delivered an electric performance of the track ‘Thiago Silva‘, taking on AJ Tracey‘s verses.
Thiago Silva, 34, later responded, tweeting: “Thanks Alex!” with an applause emoji. Dave later joked about the event, saying he could retire now that the Brazilian defender has acknowledged his music.
Thanks Alex! @PSG_inside @Santandave1 @ajtracey ?????? https://t.co/yaSGhTPsAQ

He then tweeted ‘Help me find Alex!’ to which the now Glastonbury-legend replied: “Right here mate.”

Since the performance, it seems Alex has already found success, posing in front of a Lamborghini for Boohoo Man‘s Instagram page with the caption: “Man of the hour.”
