Murad Merali

[newtoyou]

To play devils advocate, he’s obviously lied about a lot of things and it’s not unreasonable to think he lied in his book too. That book was for his customers so I’d highly doubt he’d mention his SA in there.

How did people realise he was stealing tweets from black women? I always assumed he came up with it by himself because he came across well spoken in his videos.

A lot of the commentary from black women online, or black youtubers were mysteriously all his opinions. He would even use the same terms and phrases. I don't think he actually cared that his content stealing was obvious, because he has a bigger following so a few people complaining about it didn't change anything. Also, some tea stories or 'breaking news' topics were copied. He didn't really do his own research etc. Obviously everyone copies eachother, but he really didn't have original ideas. No wonder why despite him not being black, he knew so much about the culture.

I wish he would talk about his own culture and experiences. But you would never catch him talking about being an Asian man in the UK, or gay. He's always talking about how black women feel. You gotta question why he's so comfortable talking about for black people.

He has spent all the time since he was exposed, desperately trying to figure out how to continue to be relevant on YouTube so that people watch his videos. So that he can make money! That’s all he cares about.

I, for one will never watch his videos again and I won’t be resubscribing. I think the guy is a narcissist.

Isn’t Amber Gill rumoured to be a dubai porta potty too? No wonder they’re besties.

Bet he’s gutted no more love island content

Was only a matter of time

A random theory that popped into my mind.

I think race play may have been a part of Murad’s SA. I also believe he is full Pakistani and in England, a lot of people can be quite discriminatory towards Pakistanis. I’m sure he also experienced racism when he was a kid. Maybe the SA and racism made him feel extremely victimised and inferior.

He wanted to feel powerful so now he pretends to be Arab. He claims to be half Pakistani, half Arab because he looks so Pakistani, there’s no way he can claim to be 100% Arab. He plays up the Arab so much but not so much being Pakistani. He plays the role of a superior Arab to feel powerful, a feeling he never felt as a kid due to his SA and maybe racism he felt as a Pakistani. He confirmed he developed his foot fetish as a child because of his SA. He loves feeling powerful, a feeling he never felt as a child. It is evident through his master role, pretending to be Arab to feel Superior feeding the other party his toe nails, spitting on them, feeding them his dead skin from his feet, and shoving his feet in their mouth.

He went from feeling inferior and a victim, to feeling powerful and superior.

The above is just a random thought I had and thought I’d share.

I don’t understand what difference it makes what his heritage background is? Or whether he’s ‘Arab’ or ‘Pakistani’ He claims to be part Turkish as well. You can’t tell by looking at people what race they are - it’s his disingenuous behaviour and profiteering from racism that’s the problem, from what I can see?

It adds to reasons why he's not to be trusted. Someone who screams loudly about racism can't even be straight up about his own heritage.

Sidenote, I know Amber is very outspoken but it makes me uneasy that a half black woman is essentially being harassed to speak out on the actions of her friend which is likely as shocking to her as it was to the rest of us. I personally don't think she owes anyone a statement. We can all see Murad for what he is with or without Amber saying anything. Do we really need the reassurance that she doesn't condone it?

Also so many people are saying he might harm himself, maybe she doesn't want to be part of the angry mob if something does happen.

And are people asking (bothering) Rachel Finni or Yewande for their opinions? (Or have they said anything because I don't follow either).

They were almost as close to Murad as Amber was.

Late to this but can't get over how cringe those book excerpts were! So poorly written, it was giving teen wattpad fiction

I didn't see the excerpts, can you post please?

I've always thought his vocabulary was giving GCSE English, the way he overuses big words that don't always quite fit the sentence. Like a teen trying to sound clever without actually knowing what he's saying.

 

[heygirlhey2022]

His “apology” as expected was full of utter shite. He needs to fucking jog on. I don’t actually want to see him again. I was very happy him being silent after the first awful video and staying in hiding.

nothing about that man is genuine apart from his vile kink for raceplay and fetishising black men and women and using us for his gain.
He can go and get lost as far as I’m concerned.
I couldn’t even watch the video in its entirety because he makes me sick.

This apology was not genuine to me. He just took notes from everyone commenting and criticising, and adjusted his apology to fit what we wanted to hear. His apology is the same as before, except he's phrased it better and didn't have an outburst again.

He still says it was when he was younger, when it wasn't.

He is saying he had to comply, when in actuality, he chose this as a job. These men in the videos were not older men either, and he was the dominate one in the videos. I don't think it was him taken advantage of, I think it was the other way round! He still won't admit that it's something he enjoys doing.

100. Just like he does for all his YouTube videos. Fishes through the Twitter feed, writes down comments from black women and recycles them as his own. I’m sure that’s what he’s been collating for this foolish video he thought we really cared to see.
i genuinely could not care less about his existence, and felt this way prior due to him stealing from, using us and making a mockery of us, and my feelings are even stronger now.
What an abomination of a human.

 

[whatstheteab]

I always thought there was something off about him, I didn’t understand why so many people associated with him came across a bit of a pick me

I joined one of his LI livestreams once and he was so incredibly rude towards some of the people in the feed. He has a massive superiority complex for sure.

 

[MindyKippling101]

he was doing it in 2020 and early 2021 theres a website from before he was exposed for gay men that someone posted yesterday,I combed through it and the posts were from 2020! 5 years ago my ass and like someone pointe out he wasnt buff back then

 

[DaniBL]

People like him do nothing to fight racism, they just deepen the divide between people because that's literally how they make money. I feel really sorry for all those women of colour who fell for his bs and sadly there are still some of them sticking by his side for whatever strange reason. I feel no sympathy for him. The only honourable thing he could do now is to admit everything and take a big break from social media. Just delete all of his social media accounts and disappear.

 

[AnonyGoss]

He also said he 'needed to do it' but he was using that money for lavish holidays and fancy clothes. Anyone who is desperate for money is using it for necessities, bills, etc. Not luxuries. There's some sex workers who truly have no choice and need to pay their bills. Whereas he wanted to do it, and wanted to portray the highlife on IG.

Does sound very pr

 

[Kelovesorangesoda]

Has anyone heard any updates since?

i think its radio silence from Murad, all this stuff aside i hope hes ok.

hes fucked up big time, yes, but i hope hes ok.

 

[newtoyou]

Who released all this stuff anyways? Did he upset the wrong person?

When you look at that one forum that a lot of people had screenshotted, people were openly talking about it being him from 2020ish. Plus his only fans was well known too. But he’d managed to delete enough of it that most people didn’t know (or care to look into his past). For some reason he started getting hate after LI finished (because he said love island bay-bee was his phrase?), someone replied with one of the feet videos and it escalated. It only takes a quick Google for anyone to find those videos on tumblr, the Reddit posts etc. There were loads of people finding and posting them so I don’t think I believe the ITV conspiracy

 

[fauxfreckle]

That was hard to listen to. Basically he diverted every question back to the fact that he was a poor little Pakistani Muslim MAN and HAD to use racial slurs to avoid living under a bridge but at least he considered selling on the streets before resorting to racism
NO accountability whatsoever. He is such a manipulative, lying freak.

 

[Its_Me]

How are people saying they don’t think it’s that deep I’m not a POC and I see the problem. As if he didn’t write the words.

 

[Shinythings]

For the people saying it’s consensual you are right but to be comfortable to use racists terms even if your being paid whilst trying to be WOC champion is not in alignment

And this is the thing. Even if that person was fully consenting and paying me to use racial slurs towards them I still couldn't do it. I just couldn't use those words. Even the more mild fetish of being insulted/degraded where you aren't using slurs, I just still couldn't do it, I would feel so uncomfortable with it. To agree to it, says a lot.

 

[DaniBL]

What was it that he said in his apology video? How he never used racial slurs and how he didn't write that stuff. Well here he is calling a guy a dirty nig*er. It's very clearly his voice
