While on the red carpet promoting his new film Creed III, Michael B. Jordan ran into an old schoolmate.
Lore'l is the host of The Morning Hustle, and was there to interview him.

They both attended the Chad Science Academy in Newark, New Jersey when they were younger.
When she brought it up, he took the opportunity to call her out for her treatment of him.
She said, "We go way back, all the way to Chad Science in Newark."

The actor interrupted, "Oh, the corny kid, right?"
Lore'l laughed, "No! I did not say that. Misquoted for sure."
Michael insisted, "No, I heard it."

Lore'l responded, "I said we used to make fun of the name."
She then turned to the camera and changed topic, "But yeah, he is obviously killing things out here."
At the end of their interview, she told him, "You're not corny anymore," and he didn't look one bit happy.

It seems Michael was referencing an episode of her podcast The Undressing Room, where she recalled their time together at school.
She said, "To be honest with you, we teased him all the damn time 'cause his name was Michael Jordan."
"Like, let's start there. He was no Michael Jordan."
Lore'l went on, "And then he also would come to school with headshots. And back then, we lived in Newark."
"Like, that's the hood, you know what I mean? So we would make fun of him like, 'What you gonna do with your little stupid headshots?' And now look at him."
It was her co-host Dominique Da Diva who called him, "corny," saying, "And I don't mean that as a slight, right? I mean, we all know that the nice, corny guys treat you the best."
