Cristiano Ronaldo has once again set the internet ablaze — this time not for a stunning goal, but for a revelation that beautifully bridged the worlds of football and Afrobeats.
In his latest tell-all conversation with Piers Morgan on Uncensored, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner opened up about his social media connections, revealing that Nigerian superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido holds a special spot among them.
During the chat, Morgan pointed out that Davido appeared to be the only African personality followed by Ronaldo on Instagram — a detail that instantly sparked curiosity.
When asked if the pair were actually friends, the Portuguese legend smiled and said, “Yeah, he’s a good friend of mine. Just like me and you haha, but we haven’t met yet — we’d FaceTime.”
A friendship that crossed continents and cultures
Ronaldo went on to explain that their connection began online, blossoming through conversations and FaceTime calls despite never meeting in person.
