One thing we don’t tolerate in our good Christian house is Michael B. Jordan slander, and it seems, neither does Michael B. Jordan.

The Black Panther actor recently took to Twitter to defend his height, living situation, and love of anime after one user tweeted, “Michael B Jordan Is A 5’9” Adult Man That Loves Anime & Lives With His Parents….Y’all Told Me All Of Those Things Were Unacceptable Though.”

Just because you’re living with your parents doesn’t mean MBJ is. The actor cleared things up quick, fast and in a hurry. 

“First of All I’m 6ft and they live with ME,” Jordan tweeted. “Put some respeck on my name. LOL…aaaand goku & naruto are real ones.”

And, to go even further, Jordan made it clear that his taste in anime isn’t basic either, which some users seem to believe.
