Super Eagles goalkeeper Nwabali has publicly called out content creator Lege Miami for allegedly disrespecting his late father.
On his Instagram Story, Nwabali wrote: “LegeMiamii, remove my late dad’s name from your mouth if you’re doing your content. If you don’t respect people’s dad, you should learn to respect the dead. I’m not your regular type of footballer. I’ll beat you mercilessly. You’re free to insult me, but leave my late dad out of it.”
In response, Lege Miami sent a voice note via direct message. While he apologized if mentioning Nwabali’s father caused any offense, he also criticized the goalkeeper’s behavior on the field, describing him as controlling and rude toward teammates. Lege accused Nwabali of acting arrogantly and trying to dominate the pitch, which he claimed affected team dynamics.
Lege warned Nwabali not to message him again, adding: “You’re not in a position to come to my DM. If not because of Osimhen and Bassy, I would rubbish you. You need to make a public apology to Nigerians and show humility.”
The exchange has drawn attention online, with fans debating respect for the deceased, professional conduct, and the limits of personal criticism in the public eye.
