Morgan Gibbs-White strikes deal with SuperSport
“Normally you have it for breakfast, but I like it…as a dessert” was the line said by Morgan Gibbs-White that gained 2.2 million views on the SuperSport Instagram page, and a further 1.9 million on the SuperSport TikTok account back in January this year.
What was the Nottingham Forest attacker referring to? It was, in fact, his preferred way of consuming mielie meal, the popular maize porridge.
GIBBS-WHITE FALLS IN LOVE WITH MIELIE MEAL
Gibbs-White became familiar with the staple after he started his relationship with England-based South African content creator Britney de Villiers. The two became first-time parents in November last year, something that the Englishman has described as the most rewarding thing in his life.
GIBBS-WHITE AND SUPERSPORT REACH AGREEMENT
The 2022/23 Nottingham Forest player of the season received mixed reactions to his mielie meal revelation, many confused, and some amused – as was the case in a comment by @tshilamunyai who reacted saying “Bro is eating pap for dinner 😂” on Instagram.
Regarding his mielie meal consumption habits, Gibbs-White has made a deal with SuperSport. We caught up with him recently, the mielie meal debacle was addressed and the deal was brokered.
During Nottingham Forest’s ongoing battle to avoid relegation, Gibbs-White’s performances have stood out with two goals and three assists in his last seven Premier League games. Given his form, we could see this deal sealed sooner rather than later. Forest travel to already relegated Sheffield United this weekend, a team who are on the brink of unwanted history – conceding the most goals ever in a Premier League season.
