Mikel, who is an Amstel Malta Ambassador, spoke as a guest in an event organised by the brand on the Nigerian Breweries premises in Lagos.
"We work together, it's a working rehabilitation," Mikel said. "We endorsed Amstel Malta together, she's a very nice and cool person; I spoke to her a few times and she's a very lovely person."
The Chelsea midfielder also suggested that success is all about sacrifice. He said that there was no shortcut to success and that hard work had a lot of role to play in once life.
"If you run away from hard work and think there's a shortcut to Paradise, my bro/sis the result is hell no. 'Mikel says' there's no shortcut to success, so you always have to give up all the extravagant nightlife and all that to succeed.
"And sustaining it is the most difficult part of it. It's not how you get at the top, it's how you maintain it, how you stay at the top level.
"So being at the top, you have to bring your game to the top, work twice, three times harder than you did before getting up there and that's how you succeed.
"I love coming out here and enjoying myself with my cheerful fans. I've always said that if something is planned properly, I will come out and share my precious time with people.
"It gives us joy every time we see fans come out and support us and keep praying for us.
"I love when you guys criticise me for not doing something right; I love when you guys praise me as well. So I love all of it."
The footballer also spoke on the abduction of over 200 teenage girls by the Boko Haram in Chibok, Borno State.
"I wish I knew where those girls (Chibok) are; if I knew I would go there and pick them up and bring them back. But it's out of my hands but we will keep praying and keep hoping that they are all safe and they will be returned to their families."
"Mikel says"
