Earlier this year Taye Diggs went viral for his unintentionally hilarious depiction of a psychotic stepdad in the Tubi film, Stepfather, but this time around it seems like his Best Man co-star, Morris Chestnut has caught the comedic wrath of Black Twitter as a scene from his Hulu show, Reasonable Doubt has the internet going nuts.
In the drama series, Chestnut tackles the role of a successful Los Angeles defense attorney, Corey Cash, but it wasn’t until he tried his hand at a little Chiraq slang that social media took notice of his latest role and flooded Twitter with hilarious memes and comments checking Chestnut for his delivery.
“Look here, don’t let this suit fool you, ni**a. I’m from South Side Chicago, I’ll beat your goof ass, nI**a!”
And a star is, well, reborn? Not exactly for the best reasons though as Chicagoans including Mojo Brooks ran to X to put Morris back under the spotlight and share their two cents about Chestnut’s scene and their critiques. While the reactions weren’t exactly supportive or positive, everyone mostly had fun with the scene at Chestnut’s expense while clearly enjoying the moment and showing love to the decades long Hollywood veteran.
Check out Morris Chestnut’s scene in Reasonable Doubt below and peep some reactions to the line after the jump. Please, Chicago, don’t be to harsh with him.
