Renowned Nigerian rapper and activist, Folarin Falana, widely known as Falz the bad guy, has taken a stand on social media to support Super Eagles player, Alex Iwobi.
Iwobi has been subjected to significant criticism online from Nigerians following his purported subpar performance in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations final on Sunday.
In defense of the player, Falz asserted that every individual that puts on green and white to represent Nigeria at the AFCON match made a sacrifice and does not deserve to be treated badly.
On Monday evening, the rapper posted a picture of Alex Iwobi on his Instagram page, condemning cyberbullying and expressing his admiration for the player.
Falz’s post read, “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.”
