During his time at Paris Saint-Germain, Diaw became a trending topic on social media site Twitter after a string of obscene tweets posted by his account. Tweets included vulgar jokes and even posting the phone number of teammate Zlatan Ibrahimović.[14] [15] Club officials were quick to address the issue, claiming Diaw's account had been hacked. The tweets have since been deleted.
