Nigerian rapper Tochukwu Ojogwu, popularly known as Odumodublvck, has claimed that Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal is better than Argentine legend Lionel Messi.
He made the statement following Yamal’s impressive performance in Barcelona’s dramatic El Clasico victory over Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final.
Yamal provided two assists as Barcelona defeated Madrid 3-2 to lift the King’s Cup on Saturday night.
Praising the 17-year-old Spanish winger’s standout display, Odumodublvck asserted that Yamal is better than the Barcelona legend Messi.
He argued that Messi did not reach such heights as a teenager compared to Yamal.
On his X handle, he wrote, “Yamal is better than Lionel Messi. Na me, Kala talk am.
“At 17, Messi was not touching this [Yamal’s] level. I saw him live. I saw him, you cannot whine me. Nobody can whine me.”
