Napoli star Victor Osimhen has explained why he chose to keep his family affairs away from the prying eyes of social media just as some super stars of the game like Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Recently news broke out that the Super Eagles striker welcomed his first child with an unidentified girlfriend, after he dedicated his goal to his newly born daughter.
Speaking in an interview with an Italian publication, Il Mattino, the forward confirmed that his hesitation is his way of protecting his baby mama and their two-month-old baby girl.
“There is always someone who is ready to criticise, to pour out hatred, to insult,” Osimhen told media.
“Osimhen is okay with any social backlash as long as they are directed at him and not his family members. As long as they do it with me, it’s part of the game, and you can even ignore it,” he added.
