Neymar mother dating 23-year-old: Neymar homophobic comment 

According to reports from Spanish outlet Marca, the Neymar homophobic comment was hurled towards Tiago Ramos after a row with Neymar mother, Nadine Goncalves, at their home in Brazil last week. Neymar mother, Nadine, and Tiago were questioned by the police following the accident which saw the latter ending up in a hospital, getting 12 stitches in his arm. Reports claim that Neymar's voice was allegedly heard on a phone call with his friend, and the PSG winger called Tiago by a highly offensive term for homosexuals in Portuguese. The audio also suggests that Neymar didn't think the injuries suffered by Ramos were an accident.

The LGBT community is reportedly furious at Neymar and believes that PSG talisman might have planned the attack to assault Tiago Ramos after reports claimed that the 28-year-old star disapproved of his mother's reunion with the 23-year-old. More so, the homophobic comment made by Neymar has put the two-time Ligue 1 champion in hot water.
