The level of betrayal Karim Benzema feels from Kylian Mbappe is palpable, especially after the Real Madrid striker's recent Tupac Shakur reference on his Instagram stories. The young French striker has betrayed all Madridista players, but none more so than Benzema.

He had been grooming the star to someday play alongside him at Real Madrid for years, and he responded in the most unexpected way. Countless public statements and complicity gestures were directed at the player who appears to be on his way to becoming the best in the world very soon. Benzema tried everything he could to persuade him, but it was ineffective.

Finally, Kylian Mbappe did what he and his family wanted without considering the long-term consequences of his actions. He forgets that the World Cup is approaching, and he will need to get cozy with Karim, and France has a long history of dressing room drama.

We can already see how angry Benzema will be when they meet, because what he did was completely unacceptable. Because Benzema feels completely betrayed right now, Kylian will have to explain himself, as he showed in his most recent Instagram story. The photo he posted was a dig at his national team teammate, as well as a hip-hop culture reference that is now part of history.

Benzema shared a photo of Tupac Shakur shaking hands with actor Stephen Baldwin on his Instagram Stories. The image will be perplexing to those unfamiliar with hip-hop culture at first glance. Those who are aware of it, however, will realize that Baldwin should not be the focus of attention.

The "friend" who allegedly betrayed Tupac and ultimately got him killed stands behind him, looking straight at the camera. It is a clear indication of how betrayed Benzema feels by Mbappe, and how much mending the PSG star will have to do if he wants to enjoy a comfortable World Cup in Qatar. What are your thoughts on Benzema's reaction? Is it justified?
