 ‘For those that are wondering why I've been snapping BTS in the changing room, there's one person in the media team that's been saying I haven't been capturing the right stuff. So there's no more BTS,’ Iwobi said.

The ban follows recent viral content featuring Iwobi and teammates sharing candid moments online.

Earlier this year, Fulham’s dressing room became the setting for playful wrestling matches between Calvin Bassey and Adama Traoré, with Iwobi refereeing the antics — all captured on social media.

Moreover, after their 2–1 win against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, footage showed Iwobi, Bassey, and Issa Diop celebrating wildly in what was dubbed the “Snapchat derby”, a viral moment that showcased unfiltered locker‑room energy.
