Naomi Osaka makes fun of her agent following her recent social media activity

Naomi Osaka has been extraordinarily active in the last couple of weeks after the killing of George Floyd. The Japanese took on the streets to join the protesters and she was extremely vocal on social media. However, emotions are flying high (and understandably), and sometimes she comes across as a bit too aggressive with her fan base.

While it’s inspiring seeing young players supporting such an important cause as #blacklivesmatter, on the other side, Osaka is still the most “endorsed” female athlete in the world and she needs to be careful when venting her emotions on social media. Naomi earned $37.4 million in the last 12 months and that comes from a positive image that she can project all over the world with the Japanese sponsors being huge contributors.

Recently, Naomi had to delete a tweet that slammed a fan in Japan for disagreeing with her about a march in Osaka that the former world no.1 supported. This fan was concerned by the lack of social distancing reported during the March.

“Remember that Osaka was in crisis I won’t support you anymore,” tweeted the fan in Japanese,

Naomi replied a bit aggressively to also block the user.

“You’re sooooo mad at me for reposting a BLM march that was being held in Osaka. I’m not holding people hostage and forcing them to go. People make their own decisions. For example-I’m deciding to block you”

Eventually, Naomi deleted the tweet probably prompted by her agent as it seemed to be a bit too aggressive against a fellow Japanese. Later, Naomi posted a funny tweet making fun of her agent that seems to be not very comfortable when she takes on social media. That’s what means being an agent of a young and passionate athlete.
