The shocking incident, part of which was filmed, happened last weekend when the Dublin man, who’s real name is Fabio-David, was in Carrickmore to promote a local Airbnb.

A video circulated on social media showing the famous influencer – who films his travels around Ireland – looking in a distressed state as he ran out of a pub.

Behind him was a group of men – one of who shouted “Get out, there’s too many c***s like you in this country” and followed up with “f**k off”

“The reason I was in Carrickmore last Saturday, I was invited to promote an Airbnb – so I thought I’ll just go for the 12 Pubs of Christmas. But Carrickmore is a small town and they only have about four pubs, so I thought let’s just do the four pubs of Christmas,” said the father of two.

“I went to the first pub and they were very welcoming – there was good craic, we were ‘splitting the G’ (Guinness drinking game). I went to the second pub and had a great time there too. A guy walked in doing a raffle for the town’s GAA and took pictures and I gave him €20 towards the draw.

“After that I went to the third pub. When I walked into the pub I was like ‘what’s the story, what’s the craic’ and then two boys closed the door. I was like ‘what the f**k is going on’.

“They came down and they grabbed me and they were like ‘what the f**k are you doing here? Get the f**k out’ – I was terrified, it was really scary.

“They were literally pushing me, kicking me and shouting ‘get the f**k out’. Carrickmore was very welcoming but they were saying get the f**k out of the pub.

“They actually threw me out. At first I thought it was a joke, like a prank, because that’s the kind of thing I do, but I realised very quickly this was very serious.

“I had to walk fast because I thought they were going to hurt me. I thought it was a prank, but then the man was getting very heavy and serious and I thought I’d better run out of there before I got a black eye.

“The guys were holding me tight and saying get the f**k out of the pub. Afterwards, I was very scared and I’d been drinking, so I didn’t really know what was going on.”[/b]

The men who confronted him had nothing to do with the bar, and although the business has been widely identified locally on social media, we are not identifying it.

However, we did contact them and last night they issued a short statement to the Sunday World.

It stated: “The pub was not party to the incident and is therefore unable to comment on what happened. The pub strongly condemns and has a zero-tolerance policy against all forms of abuse and discrimination, including racial abuse.”

‘Black Paddy’ said it’s not the first time he’s experienced racist abuse on his travels, but revealed that the majority of locals in the Co. Tyrone town were welcoming.

“I was really shaken up, but what can I do. When I got kicked out, the guy who had invited me to Carrickmore said to me ‘you need to get the f**k out of here (Carrickmore) because those guys might not be really friendly to you after’.

“I rang my mate and told him to pick me up and drop me back to where I have a friend I could stay with.

“I was meant to stay in the Airbnb but I was afraid those guys might come back again. The night was ruined for me but the funny thing is, when I got kicked out of that bar I went straight to another bar on the far side of the road and they were so welcoming.

“I was there taking selfies with everyone, with the DJ, with all the people. When I got kicked out I had nowhere to go because I was out alone so I went straight to another bar to wait for my lift.

“It was such a different vibe, people taking pictures and dancing with me.”

‘Black Paddy’ says, as he was on his own, he wasn’t filming or wearing anything outrageous, like he sometimes does, and was just looking for a good night out.

“I wasn’t filming. I was alone, it was a day off for me. I had my lovely pink T-shirt, jeans, my black boots, my perfume – I was out for a good night.

“I dressed sharply, I wanted to have a good time, but this happened, it’s weird and I can’t explain it.

“I was only in the pub a few seconds – I saw the door closed and it was just me and those two guys – the other guy pushed me from behind my back.”

But he says he has come across this before sadly – revealing he has been called shocking racist names.

A couple of days ago in Dublin he was also racially abused.

“I was on O’Connell Street and someone stopped their car and shouted, ‘Black Paddy you black ni**er bastard’,” he says.

“I’ve come across this before – I nearly got chased out of Antrim recently but this won’t stop me from being a good person, it won’t stop me from shining my light and sharing my positive vibe with the world because I know the amount of good, loving Irish people that’s out there who are very welcoming.

“I was just smiling and the reason I just smile is because I think the only way I can fight it is to ignore it.

“For example, what happened in Carrickmore – if I want to be a hard bastard I can get myself killed just by saying to the men ‘sorry you can’t do that to me, that’s racist’.

“I chose just to ignore it. The only way to fight racism is by being positive.”

Another video which was shared online and taken in Carrickmore after his racist attack shows him having a more cordial interaction with another Carrickmore man dressed in a Tyrone GAA top.

In that video the pair chat about poteen and the woman taking the video asks Paddy what he thinks of Carrickmore.

He replies: “Carrickmore is the best place to be, it’s unreal – apart from being kicked out of a bar – I don’t know why, maybe it’s because I’m black but they kicked me the f**k out.”

His Tyrone mate tries to make him feel better by saying: “I get kicked out of bars in Carrickmore every day, but I go back in again.”

‘Black Paddy’, who grew up in Nigeria before moving to Ireland when he was 14, had enjoyed a successful trip to the Co. Tyrone town up until that point.

He posted a video of himself in the Main Street dancing with some kids and he also made videos of himself in other towns in Northern Ireland last week, including Dungannon, Donaghmore, Cullybackey and Kilrea.
