Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has taken a significant step in response to a controversial video posted on Napoli's TikTok account. Osimhen deleted all Napoli-related posts from his Instagram page, leaving just one image of him wearing a Napoli jersey. The contentious video, which was posted on Napoli's TikTok account, led to widespread criticism and reactions from Nigerians and social media users. It has since been removed.
The video in question mocked Osimhen after he missed a penalty during Napoli's recent match against Bologna, which ended in a 0-0 draw. Osimhen was the club's top scorer last season, helping Napoli win the Serie A title for the first time in over three decades.
Osimhen's agent, Roberto Calenda, strongly condemned the video and hinted at potential legal action against Napoli. He described the video as unacceptable and expressed concern about the treatment Osimhen has been receiving in the media.
The controversy surrounding the video and Osimhen's response highlight the sensitive nature of racial and mocking incidents in sports and the potential legal consequences for clubs involved
