Chris Tyson’s Transphobic & Racist Comment
Although Chris from MrBeast isn’t gay, his 2017’s tweet against the Islamic culture led to several backlashes. After the Ariana Grande concert in 2017, Chris posted a tweet against the religion, which is now deleted. But some Twitter users took screenshots of the post as evidence. In the post, Chris highlighted the incident that took place in the Philippines. He said why people take Islam seriously. It’s an old backward religion that can’t see women living independently and treats them as sh**. So why do people accept it?
It shocked his Islamic fans, and they quickly went on Twitter to show their anger against Chris’s post. His defamation against his religion ended with him receiving abusive comments. People constantly slammed him for his posts. But soon, he deleted it after understanding his mistake. Later he published an apology for hurting the minorities’ sentiments. He apologized for his mistake and blamed himself for his actions and words. He said he had changed and asked for forgiveness.
Confusion With Chris’s Name
We all know that during the 94th Academy Awards, Will Smith slapped the actor Chris Rock for mocking his wife Jada as she suffered from a hair condition called Alopecia. Soon the internet was flooded with several memes, posts, and tweets about the incident where people constantly uploaded things against Chris Rock. But they made a slight mistake. Instead of tagging Chris Rock, many official handlers tagged Chris Tyson in such posts.
Although it was hilarious as he received backlash for what he didn’t do, he dealt with the situation calmly. He shared a post and said his mentions were full of boomers as people tagged him in place of Chris Rock. He also tried to clear the air by telling fans about the former actor’s Twitter handler. But all this mistake once again made Chris Tyson the talk of the town.
