Thierry Henry, a great at Arsenal, called the Napolis video mocking Victor Osimhen offensive.
Henry finds it astonishing that the club would consider making such a video for one of its players.
‘’ It’s wrong on every level. I mean, what are we talking about? First and foremost, it’s your own team. That’s what they call it—Tok Tok, Tik Tok, or whatever name that thing is. This is what you do to your own player? What is this? And foremost, second of all, third of all, and everything else, then yes, it is racist.
Do your research, stay calm, and by the way, it’s not a reaction; you produced a video, so it’s not a reaction, which is still absurd and upsetting, but it’s not a reaction. You gave it some thought. You sat and left; what do you know? Let me make a video because I have an idea. Really? It is racist, first and foremost, to favor your own athlete. Exactly what are you doing? On CBS, he said
After missing a penalty, Osimhen received abuse from Napoli and the moniker “coconut.” Some have criticized him for allegedly disrespecting the people of Naples by deleting nearly all posts on his Instagram that were about Naples.
On Sunday, September 24, 2023, Napoli’s official Tik Tok account made fun of Oshimen for missing a penalty in their scoreless draw with Bologna which was sighted by 1Family radio.
After the game, a video of Osimhen arguing for a penalty and ultimately missing it with laughter in the background was published on the team’s Tik Tok account.
