In an interview with Italian outlet Il Mattino, Osimhen says he is protecting his loved ones from the insults rampant on those online spaces.

He said:

“There is always someone who is ready to criticize, to pour out hatred, to insult, As long as they do it with me, it’s part of the game, you can even ignore it.

“But I could never accept that someone could use abusive words towards my daughter or any of my family members.

"I don’t want to suffer these attacks on my affections, that’s why I defend my family’s privacy from the attacks of those who hate and are capable of writing horrible things on social media.

“I keep my private life to myself because it is not available to anyone.”
