Content creator and actor Kehinde Adams, widely known as Lege Miami, has apologised to Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali for referencing his late father in a social media post.

Lege Miami said his comments were meant to correct Nwabali’s on-field performance, not to disrespect his late father.

In his post, he wrote: “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 like to 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 do a lot of mistakes, we are trying to correct you.”

The exchange follows Nigeria’s failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after losing to DR Congo in the African playoff—a result that sparked criticism of the national team and its players.

Earlier, Nwabali had warned Lege Miami to stop mentioning his late father while commenting on the team, saying such remarks were inappropriate.

Stanley Nwabali, the Super Eagles goalkeeper, has cautioned popular matchmaker and social media personality Kehinde Adams, better known as Lege Miami, over disparaging remarks made about his late father.

Lege Miami had taken to social media to criticise several Super Eagles players following Nigeria’s failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

While he praised Victor Osimhen, Benjamin Fredrick, and Calvin Bassey, he singled out others for harsh criticism.

The outspoken entertainer also took aim at Nwabali despite the goalkeeper saving two penalties in Nigeria’s playoff loss to DR Congo.

The comments, which referenced Nwabali’s late father whose funeral he recently attended, triggered an angry response from the goalkeeper.

Nwabali took to his Instagram story to warn the content creator, writing, “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 go beat you mercilessly. You’re free to insult me, but remove my late dad’s name from your mouth.”
