In a video, which has now been removed from Tik-Tok, the Ukrainian can be seen repeating the N-word multiple times. The video was viewed close to 214,000 times. Sources close to the player say that he was just trying to recite lyrics from US rapper, Lil Baby’s 2017 hit freestyle.
However, he made an appearance with a friend in front of an Audi sports car for the 40-second TikTok video in July of last year. The two can be seen singing along to a phrase from Lil Baby’s 2017 song Freestyle while placing their hands on their chests. The N-word appears 16 times in the entire two minutes and 43-second song.
Mudryk’s representative spoke about the same, as they said, ‘Mykhailo is deeply sorry for any offence caused by the video posted on his TikTok account last July. Whilst his intention was solely to recite lyrics of a song, Mykhailo regrets his decision and wholeheartedly accepts it was not appropriate. The video has since been removed.’

One of the leading anti-racism group in football, Kick It Out, shed light on this issue too. They said, ‘Kick It Out condemns the use of all racial slurs, including the N-word irrespective of context. The N-word is deeply offensive and the use of this term by high-profile figures in football can only serve to alienate people from the game.’
