When Ibai then questions what Messi is talking about, he then confirms that it is in regard to an earlier stream in which Ibai read out a text exchange between the two of them. “Now I won’t reply to you anymore- Now I won’t reply to you anymore because you make everything public…You have no privacy. I replied to you with good vibes and you aired out everything.”
Ibai was quick to reply, adding that he “erased it” and reassured Messi that everything was “pixelated.” Messi then jokingly adds that, “next time I won’t reply to you. I’ll leave you to read next time.” Ibai then tries to turn the conversation back towards Messi, asking him how it feels to win the Ballon d’Or once again.
However, Messi chose to ignore the change in conversation, simply replying, “Oh, this motherf**ker changing topics now, huh?”
Time will tell if Messi appears again during Ibai’s stream. However, those who love the Spanish streamer and Messi have been going crazy online about this moment.
