Rapper launches scathing attack on Ronaldo
As the tension mounted during the shootout, Odumodublvck took to social media to unleash a blistering attack on Ronaldo, who has long been considered a mentor and idol to France's Kylian Mbappe.
There is one guy they said wants to win two Euros equal one world cup," the rapper screamed in a video, followed by hysterical laughter.
This was God's chance to show y'all who the liar is. Kylian, they said you want to punish (Lionel) Messi, you can't. But you will punish your idol."
The rapper's words were as cutting as they were controversial, as he seemingly revelled in Ronaldo's elimination from the tournament, which marked the end of the Al Nassr star's Euro journey without a single goal to his name.
They said don't meet your idol, Kylian, they said don't meet your idol, commot your idol from that tournament. God punish your idol," Odumodublvck, a Messi devotee, continued, leaving no doubt as to his disdain for the Portuguese legend.
The rapper's outburst caused quite a stir as fans debated the merits of his scathing criticism.
As Ronaldo's illustrious career comes to a close, it remains to be seen how the iconic player will respond to this latest attack from the outspoken Nigerian artist.
