Chelsea star Mykhailo Mudryk has been forced to issue an apology after he used the N-word in a social media video for fans.
The 22 year old used the racial slur in a TikTok clip which has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times.
He was apparently reciting lyrics from the hit song Freestyle by US rapper Lil Baby.
Mudryk’s representative told The Sun: “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.”
"The video has since been removed.”
Fans have criticised the player for his use of the word.
Football anti-racism group Kick It Out 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.
“It is important that footballers use their significant platform in a positive way, and we’re encouraged to see that Mykhailo Mudryk has acknowledged the hurt caused by his use of this offensive slur.”
In the clip, Mudryk appears alongside a pal and they repeat the line from the hit track. The full track features the use of the N-word a total of 16 times.

I don't understand the obsession with aesthetics, the treatment of the English language is having mystical qualities which can be involved through the wrong word from the wrong person regardless of context similar to Jew with Hebrew and Muslims with Arabic. It just seems like an impotent expression of social sadism, people chomping at the bit to socially torture someone through the thinnest veneer of morality. It just appears similar to how governments in the Islamic world spread conspiracies among their population to give them a sense of agency and control through fighting phantoms, wasting people's justified anger by designating punching bags which can be brutalized without consequence. We really haven't moved beyond the slaughtered of dehumanized entities for the continuation of society.
