YouTuber who ‘went undercover as white man’ breaks silence following racist threats

Warning: This article contains discussion of racism which some readers may find distressing

A YouTuber who ‘went undercover as a white man’ at the recent Tommy Robinson Unite the Kingdom march has broken his silence after receiving horrific racist threats after his video went live.

Niko Omilana, a YouTuber famous for his political pranks such as fooling the leader of the KKK into saying ‘shoutout BLM’, made waves recently when he went undercover at the Robsinon march.

The YouTuber wore a mask and make-up to pretend to be a white man, going undercover to get the real opinions of people at the march.

This led to a number of people exposing their horrifically racist views, including one woman who said she 'didn’t like black people' and if she saw one attending the march, she had three knives in her bag.

Omilana is no stranger to receiving racist threats off the back of his videos, having previously received numerous death threats for his videos in which he attended EDL rallies and mocked those attending.

For those who follow Omilana, though, it should come as no surprise that the YouTuber has responded with his trademark humour to the threats he has received.

Omilana posted to Instagram with the caption: "I was wrong, there’s 0 racism in the world !!"

The YouTuber posted images of him holding his phone with a filter making him cry, showing horrific racist messages he received.

The first shown by Omilana, whilst he pretends to cry on the floor of his shower, was sent on X, saying: "We’re going to deport you when we win. You are contributing to the downfall of Britain. A foreigner living on our grounds. Go home."

Another called him ‘inbred’ and wished for him to get his ‘head jumped on some time soon’, whilst multiple were too racist to be able to be displayed.

In the last image, he is shown jokingly walking away with his suitcase after being told to ‘get out of England’.

Whilst the YouTuber’s thick skin allowed him to take these jokes on the chin, many of his followers have been left shocked.

One commented: “Jokes aside, I can’t believe people like that exist. Like how hard is it to live your life and mind your own business??” as a second said: “British people complaining about people ‘colonizing their land’ is so funny and ironic.”

Another prominent account on X Mukhtar posted the photos, saying: "Niko got the racists rattled."

Another comment pointed out that the extent to which Omilana riled up the far right could be a sign of how effective his video was, saying: “Might have made the best YouTube video OAT.”
