Terry Crews Gets Dragged For His Cookout Tweet
Terry Crews is feeling the wrath of cancel culture once again.
On Wednesday Crews faced off with the public over comments and tweets, he posted about wait for it …being canceled.
“The best thing about being uninvited to the cookout… Is you never drank the koolaid,” the America’s Got Talent host tweeted.
It’s unclear what prompted Crews to share this particular thought with the masses, but the message seemed to suggest that he isn’t brainwashed as he used a reference often associated with cult leader Jim Jones.
Unsurprisingly, the internet came in with a vengeance, particularly Black social media users who told him—in so many words—that his tweet was unwarranted and inappropriate.
One user wrote: You thought u ATE this tweet, Koolaid don’t be at cookouts but ur uninvited ass wouldn’t know that.

While another called Terry Gym crow and Jim was spelled G-Y-M

Crews has spoken out against “Cancel Culture” and has made a few controversial statements about the Black community, before. It was actually around this time last year actually when Crews caused a similar stir.
A Twitter user suggested that Kanye West’s 2020 tweet would cause “Black Twitter” to refer to him as a “c*on,” and Crews jumped in the conversation by saying, “You are not officially Black and successful until they do.”
At this point we’re starting to think Crews likes sparring with ALL of the internet.
