Noni Madueke caused a stir by describing Wolverhampton as “this place is s**t” on his Instagram, clearly aimed at Wolves/the city before Chelsea’s game at Molineux. He quickly deleted the post and later apologised, calling it a human mistake and saying he was sure Wolverhampton is a nice place.

What exactly did Madueke say about Wolves?

  • In an Instagram story with his location set to Wolverhampton, Madueke wrote that “this place is s**t,” which fans understood as a dig at the city and Wolves.
  • He then followed up on social media with a tongue‑in‑cheek line: “Damn wrong Instagram account. You lot are too fast,” implying it was meant for a private account, not his public one.

So in short: he publicly called Wolverhampton “s**t,” then tried to laugh it off and clean it up.

His apology after the backlash

After the incident and the match, Madueke shifted tone and issued an apology.

  • He said he wanted to “apologise to everyone that I might have offended,” calling it “just a human mistake, an accident” and saying it was not meant to appear on his socials.
  • He added that he believes Wolverhampton is a “nice” or “lovely” town/city and reiterated that he was sorry.
  • He acknowledged he expected boos from the home crowd but stressed that it was important for him to perform under pressure.

In other words, he went from insulting the place before the game to publicly trying to repair the relationship afterward.

How fans and forums reacted

Online forums and social media had a field day with the whole saga.

  • Many users summarised it as: “Called them s**t, scored three, said sorry, left,” treating it as a darkly comic little storyline.
  • Others joked about his “I’m sure Wolverhampton is a nice town” line, reading it in a slightly sarcastic or awkward tone and turning it into a meme.
  • Some locals and neutral fans pushed back, pointing out Wolverhampton’s industrial history, economic struggles, and how people often unfairly label such places as “s**t.”

So it turned into a mini meme: a mix of banter, annoyance, and people taking the chance to talk about the city itself.

Context in the “latest news” sense

  • The controversy happened around Chelsea’s away game at Wolves, where Madueke then scored a rapid hat‑trick in a big Chelsea win at Molineux.
  • That performance intensified the narrative: he insulted the city, got heavily booed, then became the match’s standout player before apologising in interviews.

TL;DR: He called Wolverhampton “this place is s**t” on Instagram before facing Wolves, deleted it, was booed, scored a hat‑trick, and then apologised, calling it a human error and saying the town is nice.
