Antoine Semenyo, striker for Manchester City and the Ghana national team, has faced yet another incident of racism on social media.
Details: The 26-year-old footballer posted a screenshot on his Instagram stories, highlighting a racist comment made by a user. The image showed an offensive message beneath one of Semenyo’s posts, which included a racial slur along with a monkey emoji.
The abuse appeared shortly after a match where Semenyo did not meet expectations. The comment read:
“By the time you sit on the bench for about 15 games, you’ll learn how to play football, black monkey.”
Semenyo addressed the incident directly, captioning the screenshot with a simple yet powerful message:
“It’s started again” – followed by a pensive emoji.
Reminder: Antoine Semenyo has been named the greatest African player of all time.
