Kevin Nash isn’t walking anything back after he got backlash over his remarks about Je’Von Evans — and if anything, he just doubled down.
After facing backlash over his earlier remarks about Je’Von Evans — including references to “Mr. Bojangles” and “Uncle Tom” that sparked heavy criticism online — Nash addressed the fallout again on the March 2, 2026 episode of his Kliq This podcast. This time, he wasn’t in apology mode.
Nash began by explaining that much of the criticism he saw on social media came from Black followers on his timeline. That’s when he took issue with one phrase in particular that he says appeared repeatedly in replies to him.
“I want to ask — because this is all from, at least from their photographs, Black people who follow me or have something to do with me. But this is on my Twitter, and I saw it more than two dozen times: ‘I thought we thought you were one of the good ones.’”
He immediately challenged what he believed that phrase implied, flipping the wording back on everyone who went after him. Nash then changed to a more sarcastic tone, mocking the idea that he sees himself through a racial lens.
“Good ones what, mother*****? Good ones what? You were one of the few good Caucasians — is that what that means? Is that what that means? I would interpret it that way. And I’m the one that’s racist?
When I get up in the morning and I look in the mirror, I say, ‘You know what I want to be today? I want to be a better human being.’ Oh no, let me sidestep that. I want to be a better Caucasian human being — because that’s exactly how I see myself. Well, man, like, ‘You ain’t going to be invited to the barbecue.’ Guess what, mother*****? I got a grill at my house. I don’t like going anywhere anyway ”
From there, Nash returned to the core issue: he insisted that his original remarks were not made with racial malice. He said the analogy he used wasn’t intended to carry racial undertones, and he rejected the idea that people should tell him to stay quiet.
“It was absolutely not in any way said with fucking malice or with any f****** racial f******undertone. It was just said more in an analogy f****** sense. And then you’re like, ‘Man, just shut up, man. Leave it. Just shut the f****up. Just leave.’ Mother******, you wouldn’t tell me to shut the f*** up to my face.”
Finally, Nash criticized what he sees as social media entitlement — arguing that followers assume he cares about their approval or fears being unfollowed. He made it clear he’s not concerned about blocking anyone if necessary.
“And I guess these people, because they follow you, they think you give a f*** about how many people follow you — that they don’t think they’ll get blocked.”
At this point, what started as wrestling commentary has turned into a full-blown online clash. Nash clearly isn’t backing down — and judging by the tone of his latest remarks, this feud isn’t cooling off anytime soon.
