The Manchester United player posted on social media to address the impending story from an unnamed publication
Marcus Rashford has released a statement after being told a tabloid newspaper intends to publish photos of the the Manchester United player with a controversial rapper.
Rashford's post referred to murdered schoolboy Jimmy Mizen, who was killed in 2008. Jake Fahri, who served 14 years of a life sentence for the horrific murder, was this week reportedly revealed as the rapper TEN. The balaclava-clad artist has been featured on BBC Radio 1Xtra, and has lyrics boasting about killing a person.
"I want to make it clear I have never seen this photo, I do not know this person, and I am not friends with him. Like most footballers if someone asks for a photo with me, I will never refuse but I am obviously not able to do a background check on every individual that asks me for a photo. Lyrics of one of TEN's tracks, which was not played on the BBC, say: “Stuck it on a man and watched him melt like Ben and Jerry’s. Sharpen up my blade I’ve got to keep those necessary." In another, they say: "See a man’s soul fly from his eyes and his breath gone. Seeing blood spilled same floor he was left on."
