Swiss international and FC Como Women star Alisha Lehmann has set the internet abuzz with a viral video that showcases a talent beyond the football pitch. The clip, which features Lehmann delivering a rap freestyle over a UK drill beat, has drawn a sharply divided reaction from her massive online following.
In the video, Lehmann is seen among friends on a sofa, confidently rapping into a microphone. Lyrics like "I am the queen on the field, haters getting dismissed" have fueled the clip's rapid spread across social media. Titled "Freestyle Lish," the video has amassed hundreds of thousands of likes and thousands of comments on her TikTok alone, with reposted versions reaching millions of views.
Fan reactions have spanned the spectrum. Many have praised her unexpected skill, with comments such as, "Alisha really out here showing she can drop bars and defenders. Multi-talented queen," and, "She killed that beat for sure." Others, however, were less impressed, suggesting she "stick to football" and questioning her foray into music.
While this isn't the first time Lehmann has been seen rapping, she has consistently emphasized that football remains her primary focus. The move to Como this summer marked a significant career choice for one of women's football's most prominent figures. She joined the independent club—a departure from teams linked to men's sides—seeking a new challenge.
"Here, I can grow both as a footballer and as a person," Lehmann stated upon her arrival. "Como is a space where you don't have to choose between being strong on the pitch and being yourself off it."
She also expressed optimism about the growth of women's football in Italy, adding, "I believe Italy has everything it takes to become a reference point in Europe, and Como can play an important role in that transformation."
Whether the rap video signals a genuine interest in music or is simply a moment of off-pitch expression, it has undoubtedly reinforced Lehmann's status as a personality who continually engages and surprises her global audience.
