Sharing Alex Iwobi’s picture on his Instagram page, the rapper kicked against cyber-bullying, while expressing his love for the player.
He wrote:
“We win together, we lose together. Every single player that puts on the green white green to represent us, is making an immense sacrifice and does not deserve to be treated with this much disdain.
“We speak a lot about cyber-bullying but we are so quick to turn against our own. @alexanderiwobi Love you bro! Thank you.”
