TikTok and soccer are not a match made in heaven these days. Napoli striker Victor Osimhen saw him getting in a tussle with his club following a distasteful mocking of a player. After that, news came of another superstar getting into trouble with the social media platform. And it’s none other than Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese superstar’s fan, IShowSpeed, became one of the iconic names on the social media platform following his fan moments with soccer stars, including Ronaldo. 

But now, the Portuguese sensation faces a ban on the platform in a shocking revelation. Ronaldo joined the platform recently but received a ban for unknown reasons.

With around 6.3 million fans following him on the platform, the ban was sudden and unexpected. A tweet on X showcased the company banning Ronaldo in a recent screenshot. Therefore, the relationship between soccer players and TikTok seems to be complicated in the past week. Earlier, IShowSpeed expressed his love for Ronaldo on the platform and made content related to it. Yet, Ronaldo will now face a ban, even though he has an enormous social media presence. 

On Instagram, he became the first person to reach 600 million followers. He posts about his daily lifestyle and routines, his club Al Nassr, and family pictures. To go viral on the platform, Ronaldo cannot showcase his reels on the TikTok following the ban. Although the reasons are unknown, there are other players who enjoy a good fan presence on the platform. Ronaldo’s greatest fan, IShowSpeed, collaborated with other soccer superstars on his platform.
