Zeke Mayo had disgusting racist messages to show from Kansas Jayhawks fans after the team's loss to Texas Tech on Saturday.

Mayo revealed the messages on social media via X, showing how some fans of the Jayhawks went too far with their direct messages to the star. He conceded his performance had a lot to be desired, as he looks to bounce back in the next game. Mayo had five points and three rebounds but shot 1-of-7 from the field, including 0-of-5 from three.

“I 100% deserve all the criticism in the world. My performance was beyond pitiful today, and has been for a while now. I work my ass off everyday to be great, but I can’t be perfect all the time. I’m sorry to our fans and my teammates, I will continue to get better,” Mayo said.

The post got a lot of attention since, reaching 2,000 likes, 500 comments, 300 retweets and over 240,000 views.
