What’s Really Going On Between Luther Campbell and Tiger Woods, And How are Kamala and ‘Karens’ Involved??

The two unlikely names have been in the news lately for a surprising yet disappointing reason.

This continues to be the Year of Beef as evidenced by the latest snafu between 2 Live Crew founder Luther Campbell a.k.a. Uncle Luke and golf legend Tiger Woods.

While those two names together may come as a complete shock, the disconnect between them has to do with a since-debunked quote attributed to Woods on social media where he expressed that Vice President Kamala Harrisโ€™ โ€œfake Black accentโ€ was โ€œembarrassing and extremely offensive.โ€

To be clear, Woods never uttered those words as diligent users figured out that the quote came from a known parody account on X/Twitter with a history of misattributing quotes, according to The Daily Mail.

However, that didnโ€™t stop the Uncle Luke from going off on Woods and speaking his peace on the incredulous (albeit: false) comment.

โ€œHold the f***ing phone. Tiger Woods. Itโ€™s insulting that Kamala Harris is sounding Black? What? From you n***a, you?โ€ Campbell said in a video posted to his Instagram on Labor Day.

โ€œNot the one who denounced his Blackness and call yourself a Cablinasian? Not you, who only date Karens? Not you who dumped a little Black girl in Stanford? Not you who said you were not Black. And all of a sudden itโ€™s insulting. Insulting to who? The Cablinasian nation of your people?โ€

If youโ€™ll remember, the word โ€œCablinasianโ€ย โ€” which Woods so famously revealed to the world on the โ€œOprah Winfrey Showโ€ back in 1997ย โ€” is a term he created to help make sense of his racial identity growing up. Itโ€™s an amalgamation of his multiracial makeup: caucasian, Black, Indian and Asian, to be exact.

Uncle Lukeโ€™s comment that Woods only dates โ€œKarensโ€ was also a dig at his infidelity scandal that notably included a plethora of white women back in 2009.

That aside though, it doesnโ€™t take away from the fact that Uncle Luke is going off on the sports star over a fake quote. While fans in his Instagram comments tried to tell him he was in an uproar over nothing, as of this articleโ€™s writing, the video is still up. Woods has yet to comment on the matter.
