<p>She thought she was simply interviewing stars on the <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/631754-michael-b-jordan-and-jonathan-majors-star-in-creed-iii-trailer-watch" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">red carpet of <em>Creed III</em></a>, but an awkward run-in caused Lore&#8217;l to face backlash. <em>The Morning Hustle </em>host was enjoying her evening when she ran into the film&#8217;s director and star, Michael B. Jordan. In a video, it&#8217;s clear that Jordan recognized Lore&#8217;l, and immediately, she referenced that they used to be classmates in their youth. Jordan noted that she called him &#8220;corny&#8221; back in the day, and the uncomfortable moment quickly circulated.</p>



<p>Later, audio of the alleged &#8220;corny&#8221; hot take was shared, proving that <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/637576-lorel-didnt-call-michael-b-jordan-corny-new-podcast-audio-reveals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lore&#8217;l didn&#8217;t say that</a> to the actor. Instead, it was another woman who owned up to it. The culprit further added that <a href="/profile/NickCannon" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Nick Cannon</a>, too, holds the same title. Lore&#8217;l&#8217;s name was already too far deep in social media conversations, so she turned to <em>TMZ</em> to help lay rumors to rest. &#8220;Just the bully narrative is crazy,&#8221; said the talk show host.</p>

<p>&#8220;And the things people are saying to me, like they hope I get raped and killed and popped in my head,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I just think like, if you were upset &#8217;cause you said that I called him corny and those are the things that you&#8217;re rebuttling with, it&#8217;s like, the crime and the punishment—if that&#8217;s what you thought I said—it doesn&#8217;t even match up. How is that okay?&#8221; Lore&#8217;l also doesn&#8217;t understand why people continue pushing the false narrative after an explanation was given.</p>



<p>The former rapper said she told the story of her school days with Jordan as a light-hearted tale. &#8220;FYI, we went to school together for one year, so the narrative that I bullied him all throughout high school&#8230;this was seventh grade. We were like, 12 years old. Everybody made fun of each other. I would get joked on because of my complexion, and I went to a predominantly Black school, so it&#8217;s like, &#8216;White girl!&#8217; We made fun of each other. That was school, that was one year. Again, I never bullied him. That just sounds outrageous to me.&#8221;</p>

<p>She then compared Jordan&#8217;s reaction to &#8220;the Will Smith thing&#8221; Oscars moment. &#8220;Thi sisn&#8217;t something we haven&#8217;t heard,&#8221; Lore&#8217;l added. &#8220;I just never said it. I defended him numerous times, just because of the fact that I did have a rapport with him.&#8221; Check out all Lore&#8217;l had to say above.</p>
