Argentine DJ Fer Palacio has denied accusations he infected Lionel Messi with COVID-19 after he reportedly received death threats.
“I am a trend on Twitter because Messi tested positive for COVID-19,” said the DJ, who even showed his test with a negative result to end those rumours. “They relate this to me saying that I infected him. They have even called me ‘murderer.’ I have a lot of very bad private messages. Yesterday I got tested because I have to travel to Uruguay, and I do not have COVID-19.”
Last week, Palacio had posted a photograph posing with Messi at a party and wrote: “I got the greatest to dance — Thanks to all the Messi family for the invitation.”
