A reluctant player was he.


Punk rocker and rapper Ghostemane is well known for his hit album, Oogabooga, which helped him pioneer the modern rock-rap style, alongside Lil Peep, Scarlxrd, XXXTENTACION, and others.

But not many fans know that Ghostemane, AKA Eric Whitney, also played football. In 2007, Whitney played for Leonard High in Florida. The team was pretty good, too,

But Whitney wasn’t a fan of the experience. He said his dad, who passed away when Ghostemane was 17, forced him to play.
