Why I don’t talk to my mother, siblings anymore – Adebayor

The Togolese striker recently went public to reveal some of his personal issues with his family which at some point affected his playing career.

Former Arsenal, Manchester City and Real Madrid striker, in 2015 accused his family members including his mother and sister of witchcraft.

In an interview, Adebayor said he does not talk to his family anymore, because they never cared about him except for his money.

“My mother gave me the chance to be where I am today I will never disrespect my mother. I respect her for being my mother, for being there for me in difficult moment.

“But today, I’m Adebayor I have to look after some else as well. I don’t know, I don’t talk to my family anymore but I talk to my friends. So whenever they want to talk to me I’m available to talk to everyone because I’m a good believer.

“You know, we have done things, we’ve seen things, and we’ve gone through things. The issue is not just mine because for me, they are not helping me do my job properly. They’ll never call you to know if you are okay.

“You play a game and get injured couple of times and they will never call you to see if you are okay. Whenever they call you is to ask for something. Care about me let me care about you. Don’t just care about my finance, care about.

“At the end of the day, you say blood is thicker than water, why you forget the blood and you are thinking about my account. So for me, that issue is just hanging somewhere.”
