AC Milan’s Insensitive TikTok Video Sparks Outrage
AC Milan is facing backlash from angered fans on TikTok after sharing a video that mocked Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze’s injury, reviving memories of a similar incident involving Victor Osimhen at Napoli.
Fans outraged by disrespectful video mocking Samuel Chukwueze
The Serie A giants posted footage from their recent 3-3 draw with Genoa, focusing on Samuel Chukwueze’s visible pain after a heavy challenge and overlaying the sound effect of a child crying.
The video drew sharp criticism from sections of the fanbase for what was perceived as disrespect towards the 24-year-old.
This reaction is similar to the criticisms Napoli endured last year when their social media administrator seemed to make fun of Osimhen; this event is generally believed to have played a part in Osimhen’s expected exit from the team.
Supporters expressed their dissatisfaction in the comments area about the recent video, which seemed to mock Chukwueze, fearing a repetition of history.
“Napoli admin find a job at AC Milan?” One unhappy fan asked, while another gave a menacing warning, saying, “Admin bro Chukwueze gon leave like Osimhen.”
Others expressed worries about how the club’s actions on social media would damage Chukwueze’s reputation, posing questions like “Are u pushing Chukwueze to leave Milan?.” Another fan said, “nah that’s wild Serie A admins.”

The general consensus was that, in light of the Osimhen incident, Serie A clubs had to be more cautious about how they handle their players on social media.
Meanwhile, Sports Buddy previously reported that a respected football personality stood up for Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze, blasting the manager over ‘unjust treatment’.
