Controversial messages have appeared after French sensation Kylian Mbappe’s X (previously Twitter) account was hacked early Thursday.
Mbappe made a transfer tease at Manchester United before choosing sides in the Cristiano Ronaldo-Lionel Messi ‘decades-long rivalry.’
This was revealed by X user Janty, who tweets as #CFC_Janty. Mbappe, after describing a Man United fan, #UTDTrey, as having the “best account on ft,” responded to a teaser that he would be joining Man United in 2028.
In another Twitter, Mbappe commented, “Chelsea are washed, g,” in response to an X user who claimed he (Mbappe) supports the West London team.
The Real Madrid striker, who recently joined from French club Paris Saint-Germain, took aim at the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner, to whom he lost the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Mbappe wrote, “Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest football player of all time.”
“This midget is not my goat,” he wrote with a photo of Messi crying during his country’s match against Colombia.
The French star didn’t stop there; he also scrawled “F*** Israel,” “Free Palestine,” “Manchester is red,” and “The Jews own football.”
One X user, under the handle #haiwe_xtm, tweeted, “Account has been seriously hacked.” There is no way that is Mbappe, bro.”
Another user, #GucciStarboi, said, “Stop fooling people. “Mbappe was obviously hacked.”
One user, #Big_5ve, wrote, “People with knowledge literally know Mbappe will never tweet something like this.”
A user, #fana__0, remarked, “Whoever has hacked Kylian Mbappe should be crowned king of the world.”
One user, #UTDLenz, stated, “So the hacker is basically a Man United and Ronaldo supporter, pro-Palestine, and doesn’t care about London. I suppose I grew to like him even more. The Jews own football. I believe I need more context for that”.
Another X user, #RackiRMA, commented, “This is getting out of hand. What does his media team do?”
A user tweeting as #keyyrun0 wrote, “#Loool. I’ve been laughing while watching this in real time. I’m surprised Mbappe doesn’t have someone available around the clock for situations like this. Poor guy is probably completely asleep right now, unaware of what is going on.”
Mbappe’s Real Madrid career began with a goal in the UEFA Super Cup triumph over Atlanta. The French star, however, is yet to score in La Liga, failing to do so in both the 1-1 draw with Mallorca and the 3-0 victory over Valladolid.
