Karim Benzema set the football world on fire when he shared a photo of rapper Tupac Shakur and a man who reportedly betrayed him. This was a clear reference to his feelings of betrayal after Kylian Mbappe reversed his decision to join Real Madrid. On Tuesday, the Real Madrid star was making the rounds with the press ahead of next weekend’s UEFA Champions League final, in which he will undoubtedly play.

But there was no way the Spanish media wouldn’t question him about the Instagram story he shared on the day Mbappe opted to extend his stay at PSG for another three years. We received the key message in a nutshell, despite the fact that he reacted to various sites about it.
Gracias a Karim por una entrevista tan sincera. Enhorabuena @EduAguirre7 @elchiringuitotv https://t.co/aT5Sz3Ums0

When asked about the image, most outlets used the word betrayed, to which Karim replied, “Betrayed? Why? Everyone needs to focus on other things.” “Mbappe and the other players have no reason to refer to me. Everyone is in charge of their own destiny. I’m at ease here, getting ready for Saturday’s game. Each to their own. Surprised? Like everyone else, I was taken aback. But he’s a Paris player, and we have a game on Saturday.
Benzema: “IG story Tupac? No it wasn’t Mbappe, there is no betrayal or anything, everyone does what he wants. It wasn’t a picture with a message, I put a picture of Tupac because he’s my favorite.” pic.twitter.com/Br35vADiCu
