In those voice messages, a male voice can be heard talking in English that Zvezda didn't pay him, that they are racist, and that he can't wait until the end of the season to leave the club.

Bentil emphasizes that it's all a set-up and a fake provocative message.

"Let's make this clear, this s**t is fake and I never/will never say anything like that, and also that ain't even my damn voice!" Bentil denied the allegations categorically on his Instagram account.

"Stop sending me all this nonsense, please. None of this is true and it's all fake," he added.

The 27-year-old player reiterated his words in the next story: "That s**t is funny as hell. But yeah, that ain't me at all. I do not know how they did that, but that's definitely not me and I would never say that. You know I rock with Red Star fans.

Come on, let's not believe in none of that nonsense. That s**t was funny, though. It was funny, but now it's getting annoying. Stop sending it to me. That never happened, chill out. That never happened, all right? Just stop. Please," Bentil said.

He then shared another story, showing how someone could produce fake voice messages, adding that "social media is wild dang".
