Over the weekend, Israel Adesanya went on a profane tirade filled with N-words when he entered the cage to confront Dricus Du Plessis.

White shrugged off any concern about Adesanya’s comments when asked ift he was worried about the “racial undertones” of the trash talk by a reporter during the UFC 290 postfight press conference.

“Okay. He’s black. Who gives a sh*t?” White responded.

“I could care less. This is the fight business. Israel Adesanya can say whatever he wants to say. Who gives a sh**? Why? Are people bitching about that? Of course, they are. Too f**king bad.”

A viral video with over 2 million views showing White’s response was taken down by TikTok and branded as “hate speech and hateful behavior.”

After an appeal, TikTok confirmed that they believed White’s comments were “hate speech.”
