Influencer Apologizes to Morocco’s Hakim Ziyech After Fan Encounter Controversy

Fati Jamali makes amends. In a live stream on Tiktok, she regretted having recounted in an Instagram story her encounter with the Moroccan international in a shopping mall in Turkey. She also took the opportunity to apologize. These apologies come after the mocking response from the Galatasaray star. The 30-year-old player shared a short video on his Instagram story of American football coach Deion Luwynn Sanders to respond to the Moroccan influencer.

"What makes you think I care about your opinion of me? Your opinion of me has nothing to do with the way I see myself," he says in the video. And he adds: "You didn’t create me, so you can never break me. You didn’t contribute to my upbringing, so you can’t destroy me. It’s God who created me. So there’s nothing you can do to me." The 30-year-old player’s Instagram story elicited positive reactions from Internet users.

Earlier this week, the former Arab beauty queen posted an Instagram story video in which she recounted having an unpleasant encounter with Hakim Ziyech in Turkey. She says she went to that country on a trip where she met the Moroccan international in a shopping mall. Wanting to approach him, she claims to have encountered his "usual nonchalance." The latter would even have insulted the Moroccan influencer. "F*** ***," the former Ajax Amsterdam star allegedly told her. The influencer describes him as the most "arrogant" person she has had to deal with.
