Following the criticism, Bi Bernard took to Instagram to announce that Osimhen had blocked him on the platform.

In a video that has since circulated widely online, the content creator expressed outrage at the striker’s decision.

He said in the clip:

“The idiot has blocked me. You had the temerity to block me. You are very stupid. Have you ever fed me before?”

Bi Bernard insisted that his criticism was fair and even claimed that he had previously defended Osimhen from harsher judgment.

According to him, he had argued against the striker being benched and had also been critical of Ademola Lookman during the same debate.

He added:

“You misbehave on the field and I was even making a case for you. I was even hard at Lookman too, but you had the gut to block me.”

Bi Bernard warned that he would now scrutinise Osimhen’s performances more closely.

“Now that you have blocked me, just don’t miss any goal because I will be on your case,” he said.
