Emeka Egbuka Breaks Silence On X Account Controversy, That Isn’t Me!
The sports world is finally hearing from Emeka Egbuka after an X account with his name shared a viral post questioning whether CTE is real … and he’s confirming what the Tampa Buccaneers said earlier this week — he had nothing to do with it!!
Egbuka posted a statement on his Instagram Friday afternoon, clearing the air about his affiliation with the account.

“I haven’t had twitter since high school,” Egbuka wrote. “That account on X isn’t me.”
Some people believed the team was just covering for him by saying it wasn’t actually Egbuka — as the Bucs tagged it numerous times over the course of his rookie season.
They weren’t the only ones apparently duped — several notable names were among the thousands who followed the account … including the National Football League Players Association, NFL Films and multiple media members.
From what we saw before the account was pulled … it was mostly dormant for years, with very few original posts and reposts. It had only made three posts in 2026, all since March 9 … raising the possibility that someone recently gained control of the account.
A strange saga has seemingly reached an end … but we appreciate the mystery behind it all!
