Vector Tha Viper, a Nigerian musician, has blasted Atalanta boss Gasperini for his “harsh” assessment of winger Ademola Lookman after the player missed a penalty kick during Tuesday night’s 3-1 Champions League loss to Club Brugge.

Lookman had the opportunity to score a second goal for Atalanta, who were behind three goals right after he entered the game, but Simon Mignolet palmed away his penalty.

Lookman was described as “the worst penalty taker he has ever seen” by Atalanta manager Gasperini in a post-match statement.

He added that even though Lookman wasn’t the team’s assigned penalty taker, he persisted on taking the spot-kick.

Rapper Vector responded by claiming that Gasperini was being racist and that Victor Osimhen had a similar experience at Napoli.

“Until Napoli began to laugh, I believed I had won.” Make Lookman appear good. On his X handle, he stated, “This skin issue sha.”

Lookman has explained that the team’s designated penalty taker asked him to take the spot-kick, contradicting Gasperini’s assertion that he insisted on doing so despite not being the team’s authorized penalty taker.

A false headline linking Afrobeats artist David Adeleke, better known by his stage name Davido, to kidnappings has angered him.

In reference to the gang leader’s nickname, a blog on X posted a video of three alleged kidnappers who were caught in Lagos with the comment, “Davido and two others apprehended for kidnapping in Lagos.”

Many fans, however, were perplexed by the headline since they believed it to be a reference to the singer.

The musician was offended by this and warned to take strong action against such deceptive headlines in the future.

He predicted that those who sell false headlines would soon face the consequences of their actions.

Davido reshared the news, writing, “One day go be one day… Proceed. My karma doesn’t always work out.
