I used to be a rapper with Beyonce using my music in her videos but now I’m chasing FA Cup glory with non-league minnows

Alongside his football career, Elito has also shown off his musical talents using the alias Don E.

The rapper’s most notable track was his 2017 single “You Alright Yeah?”

Following its release, the song caught the attention of Beyonce, who used it in a video montage on Instagram.

Recalling the surreal experience, Elito told the Daily Star: “When she first put it up it was crazy because it was on my birthday.

“Some friends and I went out to eat and we were on our way to a club when the video got put in the group chat.

“It’s my birthday, so all I’m focusing on is having a good time. But then I see the group chat going crazy and I think ‘what the hell is happening here?’ Everyone is saying ‘press the video,’ so I did but I’m thinking anyone can put this together.

“I went on her Instagram and my jaw dropped. I thought it was crazy.

“I couldn’t even enjoy myself that evening because I just kept refreshing it! It was just a song that I did in my friend’s bedroom and it ended up being recognised by Beyonce.”

The exposure has led to a number of opportunities in Elito’s music career and he has since performed as Don E at Wembley Arena and Wireless Festival.

It is his footballing ability that could make the headlines this weekend, though.

Elito and eighth tier Ramsgate visit AFC Totton for a place in the first round of this season’s FA Cup.

Ramsgate are one of the lowest ranked teams left in the competition, having entered in the preliminary round of qualifying.

Their trip to Totton is already their sixth FA Cup match of the campaign.

Elito only signed for the Rams in the summer, with his career including spells with several Football League clubs after graduating from Colchester’s academy.
