Brazil star Neymar allegedly slid into the DMs of a YouTuber’s girlfriend’s social media account and was clearly seen as competition.
The 32-year-old came through the youth team ranks at Santos in his native country, scoring 136 goals in 225 games.
His success prompted a move to La Liga giants Barcelona for €57.1m, where he formed one third of a much vaunted attack alongside Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.
At the Camp Nou side, Neymar scored 105 goals in 186 games across all competitions, winning two La Liga titles and the Champions League, as well as the Copa del Rey on three occasions.
Neymar stunned the world in 2017 when he sealed a move to Paris Saint-Germain, after the French club met the €222m release clause in his Barcelona contract, and by doing so becoming the world record transfer fee.
The Brazilian went on to score 118 goals in 173 games across all competitions, up to 2023 when he left PSG to sign for Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal, which was reported to be worth €90m and therefore the Saudi Arabian record transfer fee.
He has far scored once in six games for his new club owing to a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament sustained while on international duty with Brazil.
For Brazil, he has become his nation’s all-time top scorer after finding the back of the net 79 times in 128 caps.
But Neymar has allegedly slid into the DMs of the girlfriend of Bryce Hall, according to the YouTuber himself.
Speaking to fellow YouTuber Jake Paul on the Betr podcast, Hall revealed that Kanye West and Shaquille O’Neal have also contacted his girlfriend Mika Lafuente via private messages on social media, which he did not care about.
But he very much changed his tune when it came to Neymar, who he declared a ‘threat’.
He said: “Kanye and Shaq, I couldn’t give two s***s about – that’s kind of funny.
“Neymar slid in, that guy’s a threat. That guy’s a rich, good looking mother f****r!
“She showed me. She said ‘Look, Neymar DM’d me!’
“I’m like ‘I’d f*****g block that!’
“He didn’t know that I was dating her.”
