A British black man and his family are living in fear of their lives after Tommy Robinson shared an X post of the mixed-heritage family playing at a playground.

A harmless day at the park saw Yorkshire musician Olajuwon Ayeni playing with his white granddaughters on a local roundabout.

His wife filmed the joyful encounter for her TikTok,captioning it: ‘Grandad duties with the twins’.

But the video was stolen and shared with the far-right activist’s 1.4million followers,under the caption ‘Wtf is even going on here? Where are the parents?!’

The family,from Redcar,were bombarded with death threats,trolls and people in the street falsely branded Mr Ayeni a paedophile and he was even dropped from his record management amid the fallout of the misleading post.
