In an astonishing display of disrespect, Nigerian social media personality and influencer, Cute Abiola, has sparked outrage after insulting Barcelona goalkeeper during a live stream. The viral incident saw Cute Abiola referring to the keeper as “Alagbako Eda,” a derogatory term in Yoruba, which roughly translates to “implicative head.”
The comment, made in the heat of a heated exchange, quickly ignited a storm of controversy online. Fans, pundits, and even fellow celebrities have slammed Cute Abiola for his choice of words, accusing him of crossing the line in his criticism of the Spanish club’s goalkeeper.
“His words were completely unnecessary,” said one Twitter user. “If you have a problem with the player’s performance, you address it like an adult, not by calling him names.”

The term “Alagbako Eda” has drawn particular ire due to its deep cultural implications. In Yoruba, the phrase is often used to insult someone in a way that suggests they are a burden or a hindrance, adding to the perceived level of disrespect aimed at the Barcelona player.
As expected, reactions from football fans worldwide have been mixed. While some have backed Cute Abiola’s right to express frustration over a bad performance, others have condemned his use of language, with many arguing that public figures should be setting an example of responsible discourse.
For now, it remains unclear whether Barcelona will take any formal action against the influencer. However, this incident is sure to fuel the ongoing debate about the responsibility of celebrities in their interactions with athletes and the larger public.
With the dust yet to settle, the controversy is far from over, and many are eagerly awaiting the next chapter in what is shaping up to be a messy social media feud.
