      Mount will keep other social channels open
      In the post he revealed his reasoning behind the move, before telling fans how they can continue to support him and posting a heartfelt message to them.
      He said: “Over the years I’ve thoroughly enjoyed connecting with you all on Twitter. Sadly, the platform is changing so I have decided to delete my account.
      “You all can still connect with me on my other social media platforms. Here: http://masonmount.Komi.io
      “Take care, Mason ✌🏻.”
      READ MORE ON CHELSEA
      Mount has struggled with injuries and form this season – and there is much speculation over his future.
      The playmaker’s issues have only served to exacerbate Chelsea’s increasingly lame season.
      Despite an outlay of £600million on transfers and a huge fee to bring in ex-boss Graham Potter, Chelsea find themselves down in 11th in the Premier League.
      Indeed, so profound is their situation that Chelsea sit closer to the relegation zone than they do the top four, with a tough season run-in under interim boss Frank Lampard to go along with this.

      Comments under Mount’s post were switched off. But quote tweets remained on to allow fans to share their thoughts.
      One user said: “No matter what Mason thank you 💙.”
      A second typed: “Mase 💔.”
      “Goodbye my king,” added a third.
      However, some users believe Mount’s decision stems from abuse he has received from so-called fans online.
      One user speculated: “Disappointing that it’s come to this, but I understand why he would. A real shame our own fanbase probably is a factor in this decision.”
      Another said: “This is actually sad man you lot have abused him so much. He deserves better.”
      While a third added: “Bullying your own player off Twitter is wild.”
      Mount has 1.8million followers on his Twitter page and 5.6million on Instagram. More

      Man Utd fans spot surprising detail on Mason Greenwood’s social media profiles as his career hangs in balance

      by

      MASON Greenwood’s social media profiles still say he is a Nike athlete – despite him being dropped by the global sports brand more than two months ago. Manchester United fans spotted the mistake on the footballer’s Twitter and Instagram accounts, which he hasn’t posted on since January 2022.
      Charges against Mason Greenwood, including attempted rape and assault, were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service

      The forward, 21, stopped playing for the Red Devils last year when he was arrested on suspicion of attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour.
      Greenwood was cleared of any wrongdoing last month when the Crown Prosecution Service dropped all charges, but his future with the club remains uncertain.
      Nike also terminated its multimillion-pound boot deal with the sportsman, who cannot play but is getting his £75,000-a-week wage.
      He was officially let go when he was first charged, but a spokesperson suggested Greenwood’s deal will not be renewed.
      READ MORE ON GREENWOOD
      They said: “Mason Greenwood is no longer a Nike athlete.”
      However, he continues to publicly affiliate himself with the sportswear giant.
      His Instagram, where he has 2.7 million followers, links to the official Nike football page, while he describes himself as a “Nike athlete” on Twitter, where he has 1.3 million.
      Footie fans are demanding he “immediately” remove any mention of the brand.
      Most read in Football
      One said: “Greenwood needs to take off ‘Nike athlete’ from his Twitter bio or I’ll stop using anything.”
      Another wrote: “I see Greenwood still has Nike on his Twitter. Please remove immediately.”
      The Sun has contacted Nike for comment.
      Greenwood, who has a contract at Old Trafford until 2025, remains suspended, meaning he cannot train or play.
      He had his first face-to-face meeting with Man Utd chiefs since his suspension on February 16, sparking rumours he may be gearing up to return.
      The summit was his chance to give his account to the club of the circumstances around social media posts by a woman which led to his arrest last year.
      A source said: “Only when the club has the full picture can they start to move things forward.”
      His teammates are said to be hesitant about welcoming him back.
      An insider said: “The players are open to him returning to the team but the scrutiny could be massively distracting.
      “The dressing room is the happiest it has been for ages and no one wants to rock the boat.”
      It could mean he seeks a career abroad, with some suggesting he is eyeing a move to China while others say AC Milan is making inquiries.
      If Greenwood does leave United, his shirt number will be up for grabs – and one player is primed to take it.
      The Express reports that Brazilian star Antony is in the running to inherit number 11.
      Read More on The Sun
      Before his arrest, Greenwood was valued at around £50million and regarded as one of the hottest young talents in European football.
      As well as being dropped by Nike, EA Sports removed Greenwood from its iconic FIFA video game.

      The British rapper, real name Olajide William Olatunji, made the slur during a video with his YouTube group, where they were playing a Countdown challenge.
      From his selection of letters, KSI caused outrage by creating a four-letter derogatory word for people of South Asian origin.
      The video has been taken down and he issued an apology for an offence he may have caused.
      However, fans have criticised the 29-year-old despite his apology, claiming he should have known better.
      Read More on KSI
      And this isn’t the first time the popular YouTuber has found himself in hot water, having courted headlines for a number of wrong reasons over the years.
      ‘Rape jokes’
      KSI was accused of trivialising rape by making what was referred to as “rape faces” in a series of his online videos.
      The clips show the star in a variety of settings, turning to camera with a menacing expression and making sexually suggestive gestures.
      Many said pulling his “rape face”, which would regularly appear in his videos, trivialised sexual assault.
      Most read in Boxing
      He apologised for his past content in 2020 after a backlash from women’s charities and social media users.
      Sexist behaviour
      KSI sparked controversy in 2012 when he asked women at Eurogamer Expo what STIs they have.
      He asked one woman what was her “favourite STI”, to which she reluctantly replied “chlamydia”.
      KSI then asked her: “Is that because you have it?”
      Another part of the clip saw him quiz a woman at the gaming conference about the size of her breasts, stating: “I can’t see them?”
      That video has seen been removed from YouTube, with KSI later expressing his regret over the incident. 
      He said: “I’m in shock. I can’t believe I was like that. People enjoyed that video?!
      “I can see now why I got into a lot of trouble. I was such a virgin back then.
      “I think if I do anything remotely close to this again, I will change my whole outfit so I can show people that I’m a different character.”
      He was banned for life from Eurogamer Expo events.
      Microsoft axing
      In 2013, Microsoft severed all ties with KSI after the company was criticised for employing him to promote the launch of Xbox One.
      KSI had performed a song with three other artists but Microsoft faced backlash from fans.
      Widespread anger and concern over his involvement saw Microsoft vow not to work with him again at any point.
      Offensive remarks
      In another YouTube video, uploaded in August 2014, KSI asks a Page 3 model about her sex life, while repeatedly calling her a sl*t in the voiceover.
      He has also since apologised for his behaviour with a spokesman saying he had made a “mistake as a teenager”.
      While in 2021, KSI issued an apology after being accused of being transphobic something he strongly denied.
      Suicide controversy
      In 2018, KSI released a new diss track music video with a Logan Paul look-alike ahead of their boxing fight.
      The video was made in reference to Logan’s scandalous Suicide Forest footage which landed his fellow YouTuber in very hot water.
      Read More on The Sun
      Despite how controversial that video was for his Prime drink partner – who was then a rival – KSI decided to make light of the situation.
      KSI’s representatives have been contacted for comment. More

      ‘Gypsy King’ Fury has used social media to taunt AJ as talks over an all-Brit superfight have broken down twice before.
      And AJ, 33, said: “Save all that s***. If we’ll f***ing fight, let’s go.
      “Shut the f*** up and that’s just how I feel because I got to save my energy for the fight.
      “I’ll be real, I’ll be real. I respect the man. He’s achieved a lot.
      “I just feel I don’t need to trash talk, verbally trash talk someone to make myself feel better.”
      But British icons Carl Froch and Dillian Whyte are baffled as to why multi-millionaire AJ is still slogging away in mediocre match-ups.
      Whyte, who wants a rematch with Joshua in the summer, having lost their 2015 battle, said: “Joshua has lost all his aggression.“If he doesn’t want to do it any more, I think he should stop.”

      Froch said: “He’s been there, done the business. And now I don’t know. What motivates him?”
      Both men have agendas, with AJ axing Froch’s former trainer Rob McCracken in 2021, while Whyte has been a long-term rival.
      Joshua dismissed their verbal digs, saying: “They are pure haters. I don’t expect them to like me, I don’t like them either.”

      Tributes poured in for the talented youngster, known as Lotti.

      The fun-loving teenager is also seen larking around with pals behind the scenes at training.
      Others videos as recently as last week show Lotti lip-synching in her bedroom like thousands of other girls her age.
      And one from December shows her giggling while lip-synching along with her mother. The vid is captioned: “Mum didn’t know the lyrics.”

      “She was a cheerful and passionate soccer player.
      “No matter what, she always had a smile on her face.
      “Five years ago she was discovered by MSV Duisburg and moved there.
