Who is Kwadwo Brathwaite and why has he gone viral?

Brathwaite is an avid social media poster who regularly uploads fitness content and motivation videos and has seen a sharp spike in views this week.

He has come under fire for lying during the argument about playing football for the University of Central Florida, forcing the team to confirm that he is not associated with them. The incident occurred when Brathwaite and his friends were accused of cutting the line for a ride at the Disney park, prompting a foul-mouthed response in which he claimed to play for the University team.

Though Brathwaite did have a successful high school football career at Spruce Creek, Florida, there is no record of him having played at college level.

Brathwaite cleared the air on TikTok

Taking to TikTok to address the situation, Brathwaite apologized for his actions, though he claimed there was a little more to the incident than meets the eye.

“I got recorded when I was emotional,” Brathwaite explained. “Because these dudes gave racial slurs.”

After a brief conversation with the people who filmed the incident, Brathwaite claims the racism escalated: “Unfortunately when we turned our backs, hard racial slurs started coming out – hard ‘ER’. I was the only black dude with my group, so it couldn’t have been going at anybody but me.”

The fitness vlogger claimed that he lost his temper upon hearing the shouts, prompting the impassioned response that could be seen in the video. Multiple TikTok users were rather unsympathetic in the comments, claiming that Brathwaite was lying about the racist comments, despite having no evidence to prove so.

Brathwaite maintained that he did not skip any lines and that he and his friends were not at any point removed from the park.
