Hey, y'all, what's up? It's Loren LoRosa, and this is another episode of The Latest with Loren LoRosa. This is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment news, and all of the conversations that shake the room, baby. Now, coming to you guys with an exclusive update. So we're not going to check in behind the scenes of the grind. We're going to get right on into it. Let's go. So I've been talking to you guys this week about a three-year-old soccer player down in Florida. His name is Nevada, and he is a soccer phenom. Like, he is amazing at what he does already at three years old. We broke the story of Nevada's mom responding to a video that went viral over the weekend. So some days ago, Nevada's parents posted a video on the field at a soccer game, soccer practice. Now, they were working out, Nevada was working out on the field with a company called I9.

This company, they do the training, development, all the things, and the kids are playing in these leagues as they train and build.

There's a lot of little technical small things that come into play when playing a sport like soccer. Nevada is somewhat of like a online soccer influencer. I only say that because prior to me reporting on any of the allegations that police were called to his soccer game to remove him and his family and make it where he could no longer play because he is just too dang good and because the I9 league director that day alleged that Nevada's mom was making a disturbance because he was not being allowed to play in the way that she felt like was his full capacity. He was already going viral. I had seen videos online of Nevada, but I didn't know if it was like this kid is just really good in this video or this is just what he does. And then when the video went viral of him on the field and he's running over to his mom and his dad and they're talking to the police and they're being asked to leave, it made me look more into him. Like, oh no, he is insanely talented in this sport. So we did an exclusive interview with Nevada's mom after that video went viral where, you know, she was having conversations with us about how it felt to be asked to leave the game. And we found out that the game was already over anyway. And just having the police called on your three year old and what trauma looks like in a situation like that, because he's a three year old kid who now has to be told that he can't play there anymore or made it feel like he doesn't want to play there anymore. When all he did was go out and play soccer really, really well. And had a mom that was trying to make sure that they got number one, their money's worth. But also his just do for his talent and with his talent. So make sure you guys go check out our previous episode of The Latest with Loren LoRosa, where we did that full interview with her. Her name is Ms. Martesia Griffin. Now, in the midst of all of this super, super viral moments, there have been, you know, other soccer players, legendary soccer players who have reportedly reached out to Nevada, I know for a fact. And I mentioned this in some of my reporting as well, that there was beginning to be this like community surrounding Nevada now because of all this, the things that have happened. One of the soccer players was a guy named Eddie Johnson. He's a retired World Cup player who, you know, invited Nevada to come out to a soccer league that he says would help develop and to train him and do all these things. And I saw GoFundMe set up for Nevada to just be able to make sure he can afford to do so. But then Roc Nation enters the chat as well.

So, Nevada's mom and Roc Nation on behalf of Jay-Z, I was told and have been confirmed to understand that they had a conversation, you know, following all of this. Now, it was already going viral that Roc Nation had posted just a supportive conversation on behalf of Nevada when everything happened. I think the world was kind of feeling this. Like, let's just pour into this three year old child because he's three and there's no reason why he should be made to feel like he did anything wrong and he didn't. So, Roc Nation Sports posted to their Instagram a photo of Nevada with the text, Nevada, you are a star, a shining star. We support you and your amazing talents. Keep being great.
