Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has opened up about the challenges that come with fame, describing it as a restriction on his personal life and freedom.

In an interview posted on Monday via X by Instagblog, the Napoli forward shared a personal moment about missing out on his daughter’s first outing due to public attention and fan presence.

Reflecting on the effects of stardom, Osimhen remarked, “Fame is boring. Sometimes you want to go outside, and you cannot do a lot of things.”

Despite his global recognition, the 26-year-old emphasised his desire to remain grounded and connected to his roots.

Osimhen also acknowledged the support system that has helped him navigate success.

Osimhen added that he feels most comfortable when surrounded by ordinary people, even when accompanied by security personnel.
