A FAMOUS Crystal Palace fan has caused a stir among supporters after sharing his support for an Albion player.
Online personality Yung Filly has received a backlash after commenting on Shane Duffy’s Instagram post following Albion's 2-2 draw against Liverpool.
Duffy posted on social media after Albion came from 2-0 down at Anfield on Saturday.
“Brilliant performance from the lads today,” he said. “Showed unbelievable strength to come back from 2-0 down at a very difficult ground to visit.”
In the comment section, Yung Filly, who has more than 1.5 million followers on Instagram, shared his support for the centre-back, commenting: “Dufffyyyyy”.
Albion and Eagles fans were not happy with the comment, with many questioning why he was sharing support for a player from Palace’s rival club.
“You’re a Palace fan p*** off,” one fan said.
Another said: “Bro why are u commenting on this guys post.”
“Filly you got to get out of here,” another added.
Yung Filly, real name Andres Felipé Barrientos, was born in Colombia but raised in Ladywell, in South East London.
