The controversial actor also slammed Nwabali, despite the goalkeeper saving two penalties in Nigeria’s loss to DR Congo in the playoff.

The comments, which involved Nwabali’s late father, whose funeral he had recently attended, elicited an outraged response from the goalkeeper.

In a fiery post on his Instagram story, Nwabali warned Lege Miami to stop mentioning his late father in his content.

He wrote: “Lege Miami, remove my late dad’s name from your mouth if you are doing your content. If you don’t learn to respect people’s dad, you should respect the dead. I’m not your regular type of footballer, I’ll beat you mercilessly. You’re free to insult me, but keep my late dad’s name out of your mouth.”

Hours later, Lege Miami fired back by resharing the message, claiming Nwabali had insulted him privately and insisting the goalkeeper owed Nigerians an apology.

He stated: “First, I am sorry I mentioned your late dad that made you upset, but you don’t like listening to corrections. When they correct you, you act like a big man on the pitch. Your ‘hanky-panky’ on the pitch is too much. You are supposed to give your colleagues courage, but you play with the ball inside the box. You make a lot of mistakes, and we are trying to correct you.”
