Jamie Foxx Praises Tyrin Turner In Viral Post But Fans Spot A Mistake

So Jamie Foxx puts up a post on Instagram hyping up Tyrin Turner for his performance in Jason’s Lyric…except the online world immediately set things straight that Turner actually had nothing to do with said movie. Oops.

The Academy Award winner put out a clip with an accompanying comment saying, “Must see! Jason’s lyric @tyrinturner kill great_play!” But the comments became floodgates almost instantly with fans correcting him. One of the users, @onli_1nikkichantee, put him on blast: “Love the both of them but Allen Payne was Jason in Jason’s Lyric not Tyrin Turner. Tyrin Turner was Kaine in Menace II Society.” That is maybe on par with getting Denzel and Will Smith mixed up!

But it’s fine; that happens, and love and roast were beautifully mixed in the comment section. Others maintained the vibe, pretending the whole misdirection never happened. @brandiransburg wrote, “😂😂😂😂The best to ever do it 🔥❤️🔥,” while @ruckinsmckinley blessed everyone with “Blessings upon Blessing be upon you,” and an extra prayer gesture.

Then the conversation took an unrelated but funny turn about etiquette in theater. @geraldforprez gave a perfect example, quipping, “I love us, but you’re supposed to be quiet during a stage production.” The replies completely went off track, with one chiming in “@geraldforprez women don’t know how to do that 😂,” and a second followed with “Facts, they don’t.” Okay.

@footsteps_of_a_king went for her pitch that would lovely fit into this entire agenda: “A gospel album with @iamjamiefoxx and his daughter would be great! I believe it’s only right especially after what Jamie has been through.” NOW, that’s a plan we can get behind.

So yeah, maybe Jamie has got a little confused when naming his 90s movie legends, but keep the sweet energy coming. Honestly, though, we are here for all of this mess. Seriously, can we talk about how Tyrin Turner has yet to respond? Man’s probably cackling somewhere, this whole thing is funny.

It is just another day in the life of celebrity social media where A-listers simply get random check-ups from comment sections-worthy of nothing. Are we still talking about this?
