The Ukrainian, who snuck in ahead of Arsenal and signed a contract with Chelsea for eight and a half years in July, was seen rapping to Lil Baby's hit song "Freestyle."
In the track that was released in 2017, the American rapper uses the racial term 16 times in 2 minutes, 40 seconds.
Over 200,000 people have watched a 40-second TikTok video of 22-year-old Mudryk reciting the lyrics with a friend in front of an Audi sports car.
"Mykhailo is deeply sorry for any offence caused by the video posted on his TikTok account last July," a representative told The Sun.
"Whilst his intention was solely to recite lyrics of a song, Mykhailo regrets his decision and wholeheartedly accepts it was not appropriate. The video has since been removed.”
The player has offered his team his sincere apologies for any offense caused, but the post has since been taken down due to the backlash.
Mudryk made an exciting appearance in the final 35 minutes of Chelsea's 0-0 draw with Liverpool at Anfield as a substitute.
The winger hopes to start for Chelsea against Fulham in the west London derby on Friday.
