After the clip went viral, MIBR issued a statement condemning the star\u2019s actions, and punishing him with a fine. \u201cFer, one of our players, made a mistake,\u201d MIBR said in their June 2 statement, according to a translation. \u201cHe was wrong. He made comments in his stream that do not reflect our values, and we believe, that also do not reflect his values. \u201cFer knows and recognizes this type of language feeds a narrative that is wrong and deeply damaging. Instead of hiding, he faced the problem and apologized. \u201cWe will impose a fine on fer for his comments, and work with him to choose organizations that promote racial equality. The amount of [his] fine will be allocated to these institutions.\u201d The amount fer was fined by MIBR was not disclosed by the org. The star has also since come out and issued an apology to fans. \u201cI apologize if I somehow gave an impression of racism in my stream,\u201d he said on Twitter, according to a translation. \u201cEveryone who knows me knows that I have no prejudice and that I am open to any kind of opinions and debates.\u201d Pe\u00e7o desculpas se de alguma maneira passei uma impress\u00e3o de racismo na minha stream. Todos que me conhecem sabem que n\u00e3o tenho nenhum tipo de preconceito e que sou aberto a qualquer tipo de opini\u00f5es e debates.
