This continues to be the Year of Beef as evidenced by the latest snafu between 2 Live Crew founder Luther Campbell a.k.a. Uncle Luke and golf legend Tiger Woods.
While those two names together may come as a complete shock, the disconnect between them has to do with a since-debunked quote attributed to Woods on social media where he expressed that Vice President Kamala Harris’ “fake Black accent” was “embarrassing and extremely offensive.”
To be clear, Woods never uttered those words as diligent users figured out that the quote came from a known parody account on X/Twitter with a history of misattributing quotes, according to The Daily Mail.
However, that didn’t stop the Uncle Luke from going off on Woods and speaking his peace on the incredulous (albeit: false) comment.
“Hold the f***ing phone. Tiger Woods. It’s insulting that Kamala Harris is sounding Black? What? From you n***a, you?” Campbell said in a video posted to his Instagram on Labor Day.
“Not the one who denounced his Blackness and call yourself a Cablinasian? Not you, who only date Karens? Not you who dumped a little Black girl in Stanford? Not you who said you were not Black. And all of a sudden it’s insulting. Insulting to who? The Cablinasian nation of your people?”
If you’ll remember, the word “Cablinasian” — which Woods so famously revealed to the world on the “Oprah Winfrey Show” back in 1997 — is a term he created to help make sense of his racial identity growing up. It’s an amalgamation of his multiracial makeup: caucasian, Black, Indian and Asian, to be exact.
Uncle Luke’s comment that Woods only dates “Karens” was also a dig at his infidelity scandal that notably included a plethora of white women back in 2009.
That aside though, it doesn’t take away from the fact that Uncle Luke is going off on the sports star over a fake quote. While fans in his Instagram comments tried to tell him he was in an uproar over nothing, as of this article’s writing, the video is still up. Woods has yet to comment on the matter.
