Fulham player Alexander Iwobi has made a comeback to social media after a hiatus following backlash received during the AFCON tournament.
The Nigerian football star, who recently played a key role in Fulham’s victory against Manchester United, had previously taken a break from social media and deleted all his Instagram posts due to the mass criticism and hateful comments he faced from Nigerian football fans following Nigeria’s loss to Ivory Coast in the AFCON 2023 final.
Numerous Nigerians flooded the comment section of Iwobi’s social media platform to express their disappointment with what they perceived as a “below par” performance during the AFCON 2023 final match.
The cyberbullying sparked outrage among Iwobi’s fellow Super Eagles teammates, who expressed their solidarity with him and condemned the behavior of the fans.
Iwobi has now returned to social media after being away since February. He took to Instagram to share a video, giving his fans and followers a glimpse of what he has been up to recently, while also sharing a snippet of what appears to be his unreleased rap song.
Several football stars and teammates, including William Troost Ekong, Frank Onyeka, and Kenneth Omeruo, showed their support for Iwobi in the comment section.
Iwobi’s musical revelation comes as a pleasant surprise and is something to look out for in the coming days.
