A video of Michael Dapaah's performance at the 2018 Best FIFA Football Awards is going viral again; five years after 'Big Shaq' left Zinedine Zidane speechless.
The British actor, rapper and comedian gave a star-studded crowd inside London's Royal Festival Hall a special rendition of hit song Man's Not Hot.
It was a performance that begins with Dapaah giving several "I see you" shout-outs to the likes of Gareth Southgate, Didier Drogba, Ronaldinho, Kylian Mbappe and a delighted Luka Modric.
