Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo has found himself indirectly caught in a swirl of controversy after a woman accused his brother, former footballer Fisayo Adarabioyo, of failing to provide child support for their young daughter. While no legal action has been filed against Tosin himself, online rumors and tabloid headlines have speculated about his potential financial involvement in the matter.
The allegations stem from Nadia Messaoud, who shares a child with Fisayo. According to multiple reports, Nadia claims that Fisayo has paid virtually nothing towards the upbringing of their daughter, Anara, despite allegedly living a luxurious lifestyle; including staying in a £2.9 million Cheshire mansion believed to be owned by Tosin.
“It’s heartbreaking,” Nadia told media outlets. “He lives in luxury, drives expensive cars, and wears designer clothes, while I’m left to raise our daughter alone.”
Official records reportedly show that Fisayo was granted a “nil rate” by the UK’s Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), meaning he is not legally required to pay child support due to a lack of declared income. However, Nadia insists this does not reflect his true financial situation, pointing to his frequent display of wealth online.
Further complicating the situation is a 2022 harassment conviction involving Fisayo. Nadia claims he engaged in non-violent harassment, including sending her distressing messages — a charge to which he was reportedly found guilty in a UK court.
Tosin’s Name Drawn Into the Drama
While Tosin Adarabioyo is not legally implicated in the case, some headlines and social media posts have dragged his name into the fray, with claims that he enables his brother’s lifestyle or is shielding him from financial responsibility. One tabloid even suggested that Tosin had been “sued for £11,000,” though credible sources have not verified such a lawsuit or ruling.
At the time of writing, Tosin has made no public comment regarding the allegations or his brother’s situation. Efforts to reach his representatives for clarification were unsuccessful.
The Legal Reality
Under UK law, a “nil rate” for child maintenance is typically assigned to individuals with very low or no income. Critics argue that this system is sometimes manipulated by individuals who underreport earnings or have income routed through other channels. There is currently no court ruling implicating Tosin Adarabioyo in any financial obligation related to this matter.
The Bigger Picture
While the scandal primarily centers on Fisayo Adarabioyo and his relationship with Nadia Messaoud, the involvement or alleged enabling of Chelsea’s Tosin Adarabioyo remains speculative. As of now, the Premier League star faces no legal accusations, though the rumor mill continues to churn. Fans and observers await any further developments or official responses as the story unfolds.
