Craig David is an veteran of the British hip-hop scene. However, he is also one of the most memed music artists in the UK. Fans suddenly noticed something strange on Craig David’s wikipedia page recently and couldn’t believe that he had a ‘new role’ at the Olympic archery at Tokyo. We take a look at this internet meme.
What is Craig David’s new archery role?
Fans checked on Craig David’s wikipedia page over the past few days and saw something unusual. The 7 Days singer was branching out from his role as a hip-hop singer and DJ and turning his hand to Olympic Archery.
Someone had gone onto his wiki page and written that he was part of “The GB Olympic archery management team” this year in Tokyo, as the “bow selector”.

Fans could not get enough of this classic meme, which first originated in 2016 during the Rio Olympics.
The meme functions with the wordplay on “bow selector”, which references his hit song Rewind, which has the lyrics “Rewind, when the crowd say bo selecta”. The phrase bo selecta originally means a good song or a good DJ.
His wikipedia page has now been semi-locked because people kept changing the information to show his new found archery passion.

“Like all sports and athletes we have had to adapt to a delayed Games year and worked hard on our flexibility and resilience in these uncertain and complex times.
