Jordan was interviewed by the host of The Morning Hustle, Lore’l, on the red carpet. It is worth mentioning that Lore’l happens to be Jordan’s former classmate. She even pointed it out, by saying, “We go way back, all the way back to Chad Science [Academy] in Newark.”
Jordan, on the other hand, nodded in agreement, by saying, “Oh yeah, I was the corny kid, right?” Lore’l, who had made that comment on a podcast, was undoubtedly taken aback by the statement. She quickly reiterated by saying that she was “misquoted”.

She further tried changing the subject, by adding, “No you did not hear me say that! I said we used to make fun of the name. But yeah, he is obviously killing things out here.”
Lore’l also mentioned that Jordan was not “corny anymore”. Creed III is scheduled to be released on March 3, 2023. And will feature notable names like Canelo Alvarez. Meanwhile, the upcoming movie producers were slammed by the creator of the original ‘Rocky’ franchise, Sylvester Stallone. Notably, the Creed series is an offshoot of the Rocky franchise.

I’m proud at how humble he was to still do the interview. We live in a society where if you don’t do what’s particular to peers, or what’s common you’re considered corny.
