Why did Mohamed Salah block the influencer Kedra? The story behind the "I love your feet" message
The story of the famous influencer Keedra Twitch has returned to the forefront of social media platforms again, after she revealed details and behind-the-scenes information about the incident that prompted Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, the top scorer for Liverpool FC, to permanently block her from his official Instagram account, in an incident that sparked widespread controversy and amusement among followers.
Details of the controversial letter
The story began when Kedra, a social media influencer, decided to contact the "Egyptian Pharaoh" directly to express her admiration for his football skills. In an attempt to craft a unique compliment, she sent a direct message (DM) containing the phrase "I love your feet." According to the influencer's statements in subsequent videos, she intended to praise Salah's exceptional goal-scoring ability and his golden left foot, which has made history in European stadiums. However, the wording of the message appears to have been misinterpreted or deemed inappropriate.
Mohamed Salah's shocking reaction
Contrary to Kedra's expectations, who had hoped for a simple reply or even a follow from her idol, Mohamed Salah's response was decisive and immediate. Upon receiving the message, the Egyptian national team captain blocked her account without any explanation or clarification. This action reflects the strict policy Salah and his media team follow in managing his social media accounts. The global star is careful to distance himself from any messages that could be interpreted indirectly or raise suspicions, in order to maintain his image as a professional player and a committed family man, especially given the constant rumors that plague celebrities.
Attempts at reconciliation and viral spread
Kedra didn't give up on the ban; instead, she turned the situation into a humorous piece that went viral. In a video, she addressed Salah, saying, "Please, Mohamed Salah, lift the ban on me, my love," emphasizing that she meant no offense or harassment, but simply misspoke while expressing her admiration for football. The video garnered a huge response, with the public divided between those who sympathized with her spontaneity and those who supported Salah's decision to close the door on any informal contact.
The context of stardom and privacy
This incident opens the door to a discussion about the relationship between celebrities and influencers in the digital age. Mohamed Salah, who has tens of millions of followers, receives thousands of messages daily. To maintain his focus on the pitch and his family life, he takes a strict, preventative approach to private messages. This incident serves as a reminder that what a fan might consider a "flirtation" or "compliment," a global star might see as an invasion of privacy or a transgression of boundaries, warranting an immediate block to prevent any potential controversy.
