Senegalese international footballer Krépin Diatta has shared a deeply emotional message after being mocked online by some of his fellow Africans. The forward, who has represented his country on the global stage with pride, expressed his disappointment over the hurtful comments directed at his physical appearance.
“I am very sad to see some African brothers making fun of me. I work for our beautiful and dear African continent, and what I receive in return are only insults, mockery of my brothers…,” Diatta wrote.
The statement, which quickly went viral, sparked a wave of reactions across social media. While some criticized those responsible for the mockery, others stood firmly in support of the footballer, praising his strength, confidence, and contributions to African football.
Diatta went on to affirm his self-worth and pride:
“Your mockery won’t change anything in my life. I am proud of who I am, and I will continue to work hard for my country and my continent.”
Many fans, celebrities, and sports personalities have since rallied around the Senegalese star, calling for more unity and self-love within the African community. His words have also ignited conversations about body shaming, cyberbullying, and the importance of supporting African talent instead of tearing it down.
Krépin Diatta currently plays as a winger and has been a key figure in Senegal’s national team. His story is a powerful reminder that every word spoken online has an impact — and that kindness is far more powerful than mockery.
