"So-called Muslim deep in witchcraft...never good to have a traitor near you" - Paul Pogba's brother Mathias says French midfielder used witch doctor to cast spell on PSG superstar
Paul Pogba's brother, Mathias, has accused the French midfielder of using a witch doctor to cast a spell on Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) winger Kylian Mbappe.
Mathias issued a statement on social media in response to allegations by his brother that he was involved in an attempted €13 million blackmail of the 29-year-old footballer.
In the post, Mathias warned the PSG winger of the Juventus midfielder's sinister intentions, claiming he is a 'hypocrite' and a 'traitor'.
Mathias said (via Get Football French News):
"Kylian, now do you understand? I have no negative feeling towards you, my words are for your good, everything is true and proven - the witch doctor is known. Sorry about this, brother. A so-called Muslim deep in witchcraft, it’s never good to have a hypocrite and a traitor near you.”
The controversial story began when Mathias promised to disclose 'great revelations' about his brother, Paul Pogba, in a bizarre video he posted on social media. The French midfielder's brother claimed that the public deserves to know certain things about Paul.
He said (via The Mirror):
"The French, English, Italian and Spanish public - in other words - the whole world, as well as my brother's fans, and even more so the French team and Juventus, my brother's teammates and his sponsors deserve to know certain things."
Mathias ended the video with comments on PSG's Mbappe. He said:
"I will tell you very important things about [Mbappe] and there will be elements and many testimonies to confirm my words. Everything could be explosive and make a lot of noise."
