In 2015, Adebayor wrote a post on Facebook, where he criticized his family, who always asked him for money, although he added in the end that he did it not for the sake of criticism, but simply "for other African families to know about it".

Two years later, the forward commented on the family situation for the Air Force.

"Today I believe that I made the right decision, given that I had to survive. Some say that it was necessary to leave such things to oneself, yes, "said Adebayor.

"I did everything to stay in Real Madrid. But because of my younger brother could not. He sent a letter to the club on behalf of the whole Adebayor family, in which he said that it was not worth leaving me. I'm not saying that Real Madrid parted with me just because, but the letter could have played its role. Even if it's 10% - it's still a lot of ".

"My mother says that I never gave her $ 200. Even those people I do not know, aware that I was buying her at home, I bought cars - so that my mother or someone from the family can not say certain things. But today I'm a different person who looks at life differently. My mother gave me a chance to become what I am - and I will never be able to thank her in full for it. I respect her for being my mother, for what she did for me. But today I am Adebayor ".

"I do not know, I'm not talking to my family anymore, but I'm talking to my friends. If the family wants to talk, I'm ready to talk to anyone at any time, because I'm a believer. We did something, saw something, went through something. The problem is not only in me - they also did not help me to do the right thing ".

"I was never called to ask:" Are you injured? Everything is fine? ". Several times I was injured in matches - and not a single call. Take care of me and allow me to take care of you.. Do not think only about my money, only about my bills. In the end, the blood is thicker than water. So why do you forget about blood and think about my bank balance? So the problem is somewhere else, not in me. But I'm happy. I'm always happy ".

Adebayor spent the second part of last season in Turkish Istanbul, for which he scored 6 goals in 11 matches of the local Super League.
