Nigerian footballer Alex Iwobi has resumed his presence on social media following the intense criticism he faced after Nigeria’s defeat to Cote d’Ivoire in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final.
The loss, which ended with a score of 2-1 in favor of the host nation, led to a wave of negative feedback directed at the Fulham player. In response, the 27-year-old cleared his Instagram content but was met with support from the Nigerian Federal Government, his peers, and the public.
After a period of silence, Iwobi made a return to social media, sharing a video with the caption “Lately.”
The shared content seems to be a teaser for an unreleased rap track, sparking a flurry of reactions from his audience.
