According to L'Équipe, Mbappe addressed memes circulating on social media that portray him as a dictator in an interview. While he understands the humor behind them, he also expressed concern about comparisons to historical figures responsible for immense suffering.

On social media, some fan posts have depicted Kylian Mbappe as a dictator, satirizing his perceived autocratic and controlling style. The French forward has mixed feelings about these jokes.

While he understands the lighthearted and "innocent" nature of these posts, Mbappe also regrets the potential lack of historical awareness they reveal. However, he distinguished these creations from Dembele's jokes, noting that the Paris Saint-Germain player had nicknamed him Mobutu (the former dictator of the Democratic Republic of Congo), insisting it was merely dark humor.

Kylian Mbappe, discussing the fan posts depicting him as a dictator, said: "Some of it is funny, because you can feel that for some people, it's innocent and harmless. But there are also parts that are not so funny, because we all know the destruction these types of figures have caused in history."

"To be compared to those who massacred people or caused millions to suffer... I don't think I've ever done such things in my life. So it's a complex feeling. On the one hand, I know it's done in a lighthearted way, without much reflection, but it also sometimes reveals a lack of political and humanitarian awareness. With Dembele, that's different. He's just making jokes on social media. He does it for fun."
