He revealed that the tweet was shared by his social media manager and they were fired straight away after sharing the distasteful tweet. As per media outlet Marca, he wrote:

"Somebody that works for me on my Twitter put a statement out that was totally negative. I gotta take responsibility for it 'cause they work for me, but the engagement was talking about 'name a comedian you don't think is funny.' Why would I do something like that? That don't even make no damn sense."

While he clarified that he did not post it, the star is still trending on Twitter on the alleged claims that his wife, Marjorie, has filed for divorce amidst the rumors of her alleged affair with Steve Harvey's bodyguard, William 'Big Boom' Freeman.
