Osimhen deletes Napoli-related content from Instagram page, as agent threatens lawsuit

Nigerian star striker Victor Osimhen has deleted all the Napoli-related posts on his Instagram page, after the club posted two derogatory videos on Tiktok mocking Osimhen.

The first video likened Osimhen‘s head to that of a coconut, while the other video mocked him for missing a penalty in their last match.

The videos in question have led to severe backlash from football fans and Nigerians, which forced the club to delete the videos.

Meanwhile, Osimhen‘s agent Roberto Calenda has described the video as unacceptable, and threatened legal action in court against Napoli.

Quanto accaduto oggi sul profilo ufficiale del Napoli sulla piattaforma TikTok non è accettabile. Un filmato che deride Victor è stato prima reso pubblico e poi, ma ormai tardivamente, cancellato. Un fatto grave che crea un danno serissimo al giocatore e si somma al trattamento…
