His attempt at a career as a recording vocalist never really took off.
He named his favorite foods to be fried chicken and collard greens.
He joined calls for Kevin Hart to step down as Oscars host over years-old homophobic tweets, saying: 'I say to those people who think that they don’t need to apologize for shit and dig their heels in their toxic masculinity: But you want your rights! You want people to stop shooting your children in the back? But yet still, you turn around and oppress other people the same way you’re being oppressed. Fuck that. Fuck you. We’re done.'
He drew attention for wearing a velvet Christian Siriano Tuxedo-Gown hybrid to the 91st Annual Academy Awards, resulting in numerous internet parodies.
