Michael B. Jordan went viral for his interaction with reporter Lore’l on the Creed III red carpet.

Jordan and Lore'l had gone to high school together in New Jersey and in the past Lore'l had said that Jordan was considered "corny" for his famous name and for being really into acting.  (Which clearly worked out for him.)

Jordan called her out.

“We know each other; we go way back, all the way to Chad Science in Newark,” Lore’l said.

“Corny kid, right," Jordan shot back without a hint of humor.

Now Joe Budden has weighed in on the awkward encounter.

“Dawg, you doing that to a girl is some corny n*gga sh*t. You being Michael B. Jordan today.  The allegedly sexiest man alive in all of these blockbuster movies, during your highlight week, you’ve probably never been more visible than you are right this second. And that’s what you do to her," Budden complained.  "And if I bring back them white girl rumors, then it’s gonna sound even crazier. Cause why you talking to our sisters like that on the red carpet? We don’t even talk to white bitches like that. But I’m not gonna make it racial; they say I make everything racial. That was corny of him to speak to that girl like that."

What do you think about that?

Joe caught some backlash for his words, and this is how he responded.
