The level of betrayal Karim Benzema is feeling from Kylian Mbappe is quite palpable, especially after the recent Tupac Shakur reference on the Real Madrid striker's Instagram stories. All Madridista players feel betrayed by the young French striker but none of them more than Benzema.

For years, he had been grooming the star to someday play beside him at Real Madrid and he responded in the least expected possible manner. Countless public statements and gestures of complicity were directed towards the player who seems destined to become the best in the world quite soon. Benzema tried everything possible in order to convince him and it served no purpose.

In the end, Kylian Mbappe did what his family and he wanted without measuring the level of consequence this can bring him in the long run. He forgets there's a World Cup coming up where he will need to get cozy with Karim, and France is no stranger to dressing room drama throughout their history.

We can already imagine how much Benzema will get on Mbappe's face when they meet, what he did was completely unacceptable. Kylian will have to offer an explanation because Benzema feels utterly betrayed right now, as he showed in his most recent Instagram story. The picture he posted was a direct knock at his national team buddy, a hip-hop culture reference that is part of history now.

Why did Benzema reference Tupac Shakur?

In the picture he posted on Instagram Stories, Benzema dropped an image of Tupac Shakur shaking hands with actor Stephen Baldwin. At first glance, people who don't know hip-hop culture will be puzzled by the image. But those who are aware of it will realize that the attentions shouldn't be on Baldwin.

The man behind Tupac who is looking straight at the camera is the "friend" who allegedly betrayed Pac and ultimately got him killed. It is a clear reference to how betrayed Benzema feels by Mbappe, and how much mending the PSG star will have to do if he wants to have a comfortable World Cup experience in Qatar. What do you think of this reaction from Benzema? Is it warranted?

Ha..all the gestures and locker room threats..since when did football become cultism biko?

Noshitboi:
Me na dat white dude eyes wey dey shake 2pac i dey look . Whatever he's high on, na 1st grade .

They should leave Mbappe alone o

Na only him body dey here, his spirit has left earth. Slawomeir crew

This is a nonsense reference to Pac.

Story has it that Pac was betrayed by Suge Knight and the nigga behind Pac in this photo ain't Suge.

Benzema would do the same. The money being offered was too tempting. Who knows wether Mbappe was using Madrid as leverage for a jumbo pay from the start?

You v good brain

Mumusaphire:
As a Real Madrid fan, I am disappointed that we didn't get to sign him (and also gave up on haaland as a side effect).But from the rumored terms of the PSG agreement, you can't really fault him for choosing PSG. While the money is absurd, the rumored sporting side where he has power and influence on manager, signings and even sporting director is also key to the agreement. Football fans always argue that PSG is all oil money and never had history, but do understand that history has to start somewhere. PSG has the financials backing but sporting decision wise i think they can definitely improve. Klopp's Liverpool, Guardiola's City took time to establish the stability they have now. Think of it this way, you are looking for a job, there is 2 offers for you, one from an established big company giving you a nice salary (This company do also have some problems within too, but our season's end success tends to "plaster" cover them up.), the other one from a start up with financial backings, they offer you a nicer salary but they also value you to the extend that they involve you when they want to make a decision with the direction and decision that the company make (And freaking hell, the country's president is here too). Take away the affiliations to clubs you love or hate, which choices would you make? Do consider that Mbappe is only 23 years old, by the end of the contract he would only be 26 years old. Time is still on his side, if PSG turns out to be successful in this 3 years (Luis Ocampos is quite the guy if you see what happened to Monaco and Lille), he would have created history with the club and still can move abroad, if he doesn't, then monetary side isn't really a concern for his future contract (as long as he does not demand future clubs to offer similar packages).

Just manage CR7 BAck for like 2 more yrs

Na now I understand the image....but you didn't include the finger sign

Even Messi chose a farmer league for money.Benzema should better sharap if he doesn't want make PSG vex buy him join. It's no longer football it's now Cashball

He should not be angry
He just did what Ramos did for Real Madrid dat year...all for the money win win Mbappe no lose

tesppidd:
There is no loyalty in football, fuucck loyalty. We can see it from the way Madrid treated Raul, Cassilas and Ronaldo.

Everyone has a price and what money cannot buy, more money can buy it.

Madrid don't realize it's no longer the 90's and the early 2000s when they were almost the only super team.
Now very many other teams have caught up; Mbappe can still achieve his dreams outside of PSG with clubs like City, Bayern and Liverpool.

Mbappe just made himself a fortune and at the same time made himself a darling of the French people.

you dey yarn durst check the pics below and see the name you mentioned there that's is happy downing the club jersey,cr7 left Juventus to come watch Madrid in the VIP section where vinicius scored and did the siuu celebration, Marcello and Isco are giving iconic farewell...

Guy drop hatred abeg,how did you guys treated Messi when he left,how do you guys treat your wonderkid Borjan,how do you guys treat Suarez when he left to ATM abeggi drop hatred and move on...no one is bigger than Madrid

olaric:
The youngman played Madrid, and may have burnt bridges along the line. As a young professional footballer still developing, it is not always ideal to play a risky game like he did. You don't give your word to a big club like Madrid, and then turn back to betray them. PSG got no history as Madrid--that's a statement of fact!

For all those cheering him on, we will find out in a matter of years how good or bad a decision he has taken on snubbing Madrid. Madrid waited for him, and may have snubbed [Halla] for him; but what did they get in return?

He made a nice decision, Bleep the club. Madrid have equally treated some players bad too, given ur words can't make one not to follow his heart provided there is no breach in contract.

Benzema might leave Madrid if PSG gives him record breaking offer.

Madrid should stop crying. They wanted to sign a free agent. Nonsense.

They can come next summer and buy him.

I was thinking puffy and biggie set him up

Not at all.

But Haitian Jack was known to all of them.

Why People forsake their growth, dreams, etc for money still baffles me

Take a look at the Tinubu urchins on Nairaland for example. To them, it's all about the stipends they make now i.e pre-election. Their future and that of their children isn't their problem. The country can rot for all they care.

Amyway, Mbappe has made his choice. All the best to him.

Please make it clear, because whichever team Mbappe signs for is what dreams are made of and he is not in any way forsaking his growth regardless of the team he chose to play for... That comparison with political stipends collectors is not it at all,them no dey the same range.

He has no Yoruba blood.

His mother is Algerian

His father is Cameroonian but gave them Yoruba middle names just like some African Americans do.

Consider yourself educated now

Mumu,a Cameroonian just decided to give his children Yoruba middle names "just like some African Americans do",right ? Since everybody is now having a "Yoruba middle name" according to you, do you have one too ? Ode,if you may be asked,what do you even know about Mbappe father's background ? You seriously think a Cameroonian man, who is married to an Algerian woman,would just decide to give Yoruba names to his children without any historical background or reason for it,right ?

It's really amazing how some of you guys will just be claiming to be Authorities on subject matters you know nothing about ! Do we need to tell you yet again,that the vast majority of those African Americans with Yoruba names have actually traced their roots to Yoruba land or have strong historical reasons for doing so? You seriously think a name like "Yetunde Price" has no historical reason attached to it, right ? You be mumu !

Now that everybody wants to have a Yoruba name,at least,and according to you,it goes to show that there is something uniquely special about these great Yorubas ! Don't you think so ? Anyway,I'm a Yoruba man and I'm very proud to be one ! Everybody wants to be Yoruba,great !

Mr maturity, kindly use your maturity to answer the simple question:

Did u discuss this matter with benzema or this is a figment of your imagination?

Exactly the reason you are not matured! Do you have to go to someone face to face to get a message? All over the world pictures, cartoon etc carries lots of messages or informations especially if it is coming when there is a situation on ground.
Asking if he asked or discuss with Benzema is childish.... So you have not seen pictures that carries messages with words on them? If you haven't ask Google.

By the end of this contract he will be 26 years old and by then he would just be starting! He is European and not Brazillian so he would know how to conduct himself.

In the end he is made for life. R. Madrid can cry all they want but the young man has decided what is best for him. Did you check the money again? Their career as footballers is short. Highest 35 the guy would be retired and would need all the money he can get to invest in other things.

Let him be. He has chosen. Chelsea's Oscar went to China for the billions and I am sure when it is all said and done he would be happy. He has enough for family and friends. Finally, isn't that what life is all about, to take care of your loved ones and love God?

Mr maturity, u still haven't answered the simple question:

So Mbappe should jeopardize his own career, future and happiness just to satisfy Benzema's ego? To hell with Benzema.

If Benzema so much desires to play with Mbappe, let him join Mbappe at PSG.

I won't insult same way you did.. Madrid can't be paying players hefty amount like how you guys gave Messi and today you guys are bankrupt.. club is bigger than a player that's what you guys failed to see in Messi deal all this year and you guys can see where it leads you to

Psg tells Madrid that anything is possible with money mothafck money is the answer to all

He doesn't have to play for Madrid to achieve greatness in football..
Messi didn't and look at the career he's had..
You all should swallow your bruised pride and move..
Football doesn't revolve around Madrid!

Madrid NEVER had a player like Messi,so I can understand your sentiments..
Stop your sob story and move on..
Madrid was ready to break the bank and throw everything to sign Mbappe..
The boy just didn't want you..
Stop being a sore loser..

You are an Idiot.

You want to live vicariously through other people.

Proud to be a Yoruba man but what have you achieved for yourself? You can't even spell your name correctly.

People answer Samson and Michael in Nigeria, does that mean they are from Israel? Mbappe has no genetic connection to Nigeria or Yoruba land. If you don't like it, go and die. The last time, you didn't even know his mom was Algerian but were quick to advance your ethnic chauvinism. Now, you have continued with the obtuseness by making useless points.

Is Kylian Mbappe Yoruba? Absolute no.
