Moroccan Soccer Star’s Drunken Instagram Rant Sparks Controversy

The AS Monaco player had posted a video on his Instagram account in which he was singing the lyrics of an insulting song, addressing his followers. The video was immediately widely circulated and the player realized the big blunder, before deleting it. Too late! It had already been taken up and rebroadcast elsewhere.

In another message, posted a few hours later, the Moroccan international apologized, accusing certain followers of having insulted him and threatened to kill his relatives.

"I would like to apologize to all the people I have offended. Still very touched, like all my teammates, by our elimination, I had a totally inappropriate reaction, after receiving insults up to wishing the death of my relatives, on social networks. This in no way excuses my behavior, which does not reflect my values or the education my parents gave me," he wrote in this message that was also widely commented on. And the least we can say is that his apologies are not accepted.
