Social media commentator Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, expressed surprise after being blocked by Premier League giants Arsenal on Instagram.
On the evening of Sunday, January 25, VeryDarkMan shared a brief video showing that he no longer had access to Arsenal’s official Instagram account, even though he could still view the page of their rivals, Manchester United.
In response, he questioned the club about the reason behind the block. “You all won’t believe this 😂😂 Arsenal admin just blocked me 😭😭😭😭 What is my offence… United for life,” he wrote in the post’s caption.
Some Nigerians speculated that Arsenal’s decision came after VeryDarkMan criticized music sensation Wizkid online, while others suggested it was due to his playful trolling of the club following their 3-2 defeat to Manchester United.
The loss meant Arsenal missed a chance to climb higher in the Premier League standings after failing to secure all three points at Emirates Stadium.
