Kyrie Irving came under fire after news reports of the Cleveland Cavaliers point guard hosting a “No Black Girls Allowed” yacht party. The NBA champion player shot down the rumors of the party, calling the chatter total “B.S.”
The story broke last week regarding Irving’s celebratory yacht party, with Black Twitter noting in images from the event that there was a considerable lack of Black women in attendance. The slander was swift and furious as one could imagine, but Irving has had enough of being misrepresented.
TMZ reports:
Now, Kyrie is firing back at the critics — saying, “I’d never think I would have to address something as ridiculous as a yacht party, but I wasn’t raised to discriminate against any race let alone any race of women, especially my own.”
“I was raised by the black women in my family and for me to be connected to some nonsense like a ‘No black girls allowed’ party is embarrassing and an inaccurate portrayal of who and what I represent as man.”
Irving apologized to the people who were offended without knowing the facts — but says, “that story has no truth to it and I wanted to clear the air on all of this B.S.”
Phew! We thought we lost another one to the game. Way to stay on the home team, Kyrie Irving!
