Kevin Nash publicly apologizes for using the term “Mr. Bojangles” during his critique of Je’Von Evans
During his podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash commented on the work of Je’Von Evans in WWE while discussing Je’Von’s OG cutter. Nash stated that “he’s a little bit too Mr. Bojangles for me, I wish he was a little bit more urban.”
After Nash received criticism from fans on social media, he issued the following public apology via Twitter/X…
“How often have you heard the term Uncle Tom? Most likely, it was used in a degrading way. If you’ve actually read the literature, Uncle Tom was whipped to death for helping free two female slaves. I apologize for the use of the term Mr. Bogangles, it was in poor taste and obviously offensive. I just see talent being pushed in a direction that I disagree with. He should be the male version of Sol Ruca. More contemporary than urban. It’s funny how I’m usually the only person who pays attention to the development of black talent.”
