Kylian Mbappé is taking legal action against a kebab shop owner for using his name in the description of one of their sandwiches.
Mohamed Henni, a Marseille-based influencer known in the French football world, recently opened a kebab shop.
The description of one of his sandwiches, the Klüb kebab, includes a reference to it being made with a “baker round bread, as round as Mbappé’s skull.”
Henni, a Marseille supporter with a large following on Instagram, received a certified letter on Wednesday morning from Delphine Verheyden, Mbappé’s lawyer, on behalf of KMA, the company managing the player’s sponsors, merchandise, and image rights.
The letter requests that Henni remove Mbappé’s name from his menu within eight days, warning of potential legal action for using his name without consent for commercial purposes.
The influencer, clearly shocked by Mbappé’s actions, reacted on his Instagram account.
“Are you not ashamed? You have nothing else to do. Suing me for something so futile? It is incredible. I can’t believe it!” Henni told his followers.
Dimitri Payet, the former Olympique Marseille and West Ham star, currently playing at Vasco da Gama, is also part of one sandwich description: “A crepe as loaded as Payet.”
