Michael B. Jordan reacts to gay rumors: “Grow the fuck up!”

Michael B. Jordan reacts to gay rumors: “Grow the fuck up!”

“I usually don’t comment creep but, you know, shit, today I got time. So look, whoever’s angry, bitter, upset for whatever reason, grow the fuck up ‘cause karma’s real. And I usually take the high road. I usually don’t say shit, I just let it roll ‘cause people are going to be people. Everybody got they opinion. That’s what the Internet’s for. They going to say whatever….On second thought, why am I even giving energy to that shit on this day. Y’all my fans. Y’all don’t need to hear me ranting about some BS. So enjoy your family, enjoy your blessings, enjoy the people you hold close and cherish that. I think that’s more important than some comment.”

— Actor Michael B. Jordan, responding to “angry, bitter” trolls who have accused him of having a love affair with director Ryan Coogler

        nnayelugo, a simple ‘no’ or ‘yes’ consumes way less calories. Maybe the rant is an avenue to work out.

    Why people (especially gay people) constantly accuse celebrities of being gay is beyond me.Like why do we want them to be gay at all cost.Abeg,let people come out on their own.As long as the person does not criticise gay people,I see no point.I uphold the ‘don’t ask,don’t tell’ policy.

          Exactly my question. It’s a people thing and not a ‘gay’s people thing. He didn’t say anywhere that it’s the gay folks that are forcing him out of a closet that may or may not exist. Did he?

            please,we both know that it is usually gay folks that do call people out.We always claim to ‘have receipts’ from this and that year and all that.Sometimes I wonder if we are not our worst enemies or if we’d not have been homophobic were we heterosexuals.

      You re right, the biggest problem of gay people are gay people,if there was no anti gay law in this country,do u know the number of gay people that will out closet ones on a daily just cause they want everyone to be on their level and do things their own way while forgetting that we all have our right to live our life the way we choose, as you shout human right and gay right, please also remember that someone that wants to be in the closet has rights as well,let them come out the day they want,the time they want,how they want and not some bittered basket mouth blowing an unwanted vuvuzela…..there re many reasons why I can’t relate with some people sha….so sad..let and let live!
      Then to the dead ones that will say that I am not comfortable in my own skin, how the hell do u know my skin and if it is cocobutter that suits it or baby oil, mind your own skin and kudos since you re comfortable in your own skin,Aunty Comfort,Comforter of MANkind, Live and let live..

        I’m sorry, are you somehow trying to equate the demand for gay rights with the right of one to stay in the closet?

          Dear PP,if coming out of the closet will get him killed depending on his particular environment i think he has a right to stay in there for as long as possible.

          The doors to ur closet might not be as thick as the next person’s.

            You missed my point. The demand for the regard of human/gay rights has nothing to do with gay people wanting to be closeted.

          Everybody has their right,all rights are equal,let people live the way they want,you can call it whatever you want or call it any equation,people that dont wanna judge should not judge others, wanna they wanna be out or in closet… It is their choice and right,nobody is better or greater….Respect
