In a heartfelt interview with Instablog TV, Osimhen confessed that despite global recognition, fame has become more of a restriction than a reward.

His remarks shed light on the emotional cost of celebrity, particularly for athletes under constant public scrutiny.
Speaking candidly, Osimhen shared a moment many parents can relate to: wanting a quiet, joyful outing with his daughter.
“I remember when I had my daughter and I wanted to take her somewhere with my family in Italy… I couldn’t do much,” he said. “I had to give her to my sister while I took pictures and made videos with fans.”
Despite his stardom, Osimhen finds comfort in the Olusosun area of Lagos, where he grew up. “I like to stay around these people… to escape from my new reality,” he explained.
