In a surprising turn of events, basketball legend Michael Jordan has refused to participate in a commercial with Hollywood icon Robert De Niro. The reason? Jordan candidly expressed his disdain for the actor, stating, “I don’t like him.” This decision has sparked widespread discussion, shedding light on the growing tensions between celebrities over political and personal beliefs.

 

The commercial in question was set to be a high-profile advertisement for a major brand, rumored to be promoting a message of inclusivity and social justice—values often associated with the term “woke.” The campaign aimed to unite influential figures from different spheres of influence, bringing together sports and entertainment to deliver a powerful message.
