Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe has condemned a viral AI-generated meme that superimposes his image onto the body of a dictator, deeming it a display of "lack of political and human awareness". The 27-year-old French forward acknowledged that the meme could be perceived as humorous by some, but expressed that the comparison with dictators who caused significant suffering is inappropriate.
In an interview with France Football, Mbappe stated that while some fans might find the meme light-hearted due to his on-pitch dominance and influence, there is also a "less funny" aspect due to the historical devastation caused by the figures he was being compared with. He emphasized that he has never caused such harm in his life.
The Real Madrid player also addressed the nickname "Mobut" used by teammate Ousmane Dembele during the 2026 World Cup, clarifying that it was a joke taken from social media and not indicative of the broader meme issue.
