Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has become one of the NFL's biggest stars.

The 24-year-old fifth-rounder is having another career year and helping lead the Rams to a third-straight playoff appearance. After a two-touchdown game against the Arizona Cardinals en route to a blowout, everyone was celebrating Nacua.

The fans, the pundits, the commentators, Pat McAfee -- people can’t get enough of the high-flying superstar wideout.

However, he may have done something that's rubbed his teammates the wrong way.

Following Sunday’s win over the Cardinals, Nacua broke his team’s and the NFL’s own rules by going live on Instagram in the locker room.

“Hey, bro, don’t livestream,” an unidentified Rams player asked behind Nacua as he went live to his over 450,000 and growing followers on Instagram. “Don’t livestream in the locker room.”

Nacua then turned his head and lied to his teammate's face, saying he wasn’t.

“What do you mean you’re not? I’m looking at it.”

Nacua then got up from his visitor locker at State Farm Stadium and talked to his fans while making light of the situation, even at one point showing the back of one of his teammates while he was still getting dressed.

While Nacua violated the rules, no information has yet surfaced about any potential punishment that might result from the young star’s incident.

The Rams and Nacua have home matchup against the Detroit Lions on Sunday at SoFi Stadium. If the Rams prevail, they will secure a postseason berth.
