Internet celebrity hard pulls Messi for a group photo + touches the Hercules Cup, netizens are angry
The famous Internet celebrity “Brother Salt” was very popular during the World Cup, and many stars visited his restaurant in Qatar. Yesterday’s World Cup finals, “Brother Salt” also came to the scene, but received a lot of criticism for his controversial actions.
When Messi was celebrating winning the championship with his teammates, “Brother Salt” squeezed into the team and grabbed Messi’s shoulder, hoping to take a photo with him. But his behavior obviously made Messi a little unhappy. Messi looked back at him and ignored him, but Brother Salt was still pestering Messi.
In the end, Messi agreed to “Brother Salt”‘s photo request. Then “Brother Salt” took a group photo with other Argentine players and took away the Hercules Cup. This also made netizens very angry: “You shouldn’t touch the Hercules Cup, you are not a member of the championship at all.” “Only the players and staff who have won the championship can touch the trophy. You are gaining attention by doing so.”
“Brother Salt”, whose real name is Nusret Gökçe, is an online celebrity chef and restaurant owner from Turkey. He became popular because of the way he sprinkled salt while cooking steak, and met many celebrities. It is worth mentioning that he is not the first celebrity to cause controversy for touching the World Cup. After the 2014 World Cup final, the famous singer Rihanna was also criticized for lifting the World Cup.
