Channing Crowder is making headlines again, and this time he’s doubling down on his previous comments about Russell Wilson being lame. The topic, which many thought had cooled off, resurfaced after Ciara was asked about Crowder’s remarks during her appearance on The Breakfast Club.
Ciara Shuts Down Talk About Russell Wilson Being Lame
Ciara sat with Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy, and Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club where Charlamagne asked her how she felt about folks labeling her husband, NFL star Russell Wilson, as lame. Her answer was calm but powerful. Ciara said her husband isn’t lame at all, and she doubled down herself by pointing out that Wilson is a loving partner and a hands-on father who puts his family first. That moment went viral quickly, sparking social media debates about what “lame” really means and how people judge men in healthy marriages.
Crowder Doubles Down On The Pivot Podcast
After Ciara’s defense of Wilson took over the internet, Channing Crowder decided to double down on his own stance. On a recent episode of The Pivot podcast, Crowder made it clear he wasn’t changing his tune. He said: “I didn’t say he’s not a great husband it’s amazing, the dude is a good husband but he is lame still.” His comments immediately reignited debates online, with fans split between agreeing with him and defending Wilson.
- For Crowder, this wasn’t about Wilson’s role as a father or husband. He acknowledged those qualities but insisted his personal definition of “lame” still applied. Social media, of course, had a field day with the statement, proving how easily one person’s take can turn into viral discourse.
What This Debate Really Says About Culture
This whole back-and-forth shows more than just celebrity drama. It touches on how Black men are often judged by outdated standards of “cool.” Russell Wilson is a successful quarterback, a devoted father, and a present husband. Yet in some circles, that still gets labeled as corny or lame. The bigger conversation here is about how society views healthy relationships and Black fatherhood. While Crowder sticks by his words, many see Wilson as an example of what real love and stability should look like.
