Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen has raised eyebrows on social media, but not for the reasons fans might expect.
Just minutes after Ademola Lookman was crowned the 2024 CAF Player of the Year on Monday night in Marrakech, Osimhen shared a post that has left many talking – and not about congratulations.
Lookman, fresh off his incredible season with Atalanta and a starring role in the Super Eagles’ AFCON 2023 run, was honoured with Africa’s top football accolade.
The 27-year-old accepted the award in a traditional Yoruba outfit, beaming with pride as he thanked God, his teammates, and his country for their unwavering support.
He even shared a powerful message for aspiring young athletes, turning personal failures into motivation.
But while Lookman basked in the glory, Osimhen’s first social media post after the ceremony raised a few eyebrows.
Instead of a congratulatory message, the Galatasaray forward flaunted his latest showstopper – a custom-made diamond pendant worth millions.
The piece, designed by New York-based jeweller Benny The Jeweler, features over 275 carats of emerald baguettes and carbon fibre, all shaped into a mask that mirrors the iconic look Osimhen often sports on the pitch.
