Faizon Love caught heat on social media after throwing shade at comedienne Nicole Byer and her new comedy special on Netflix.
Nicole Byer: Big Beautiful Weirdo debuted on the streaming service on December 7, and it caught the Afro-Cuban actor’s attention. He took to Instagram to shade the 35-year-old funny woman while clout-chasing at the same time.
“So after very long consideration, I felt the only way to get a Netflix special is to become a unfunny black women… my new name is Nicole Byer … this is my transformation,” he wrote on Instagram as he posted a side-by-side image of him and Byer.

Faizon’s fragile post garnered hundreds of comments on Instagram, including from DeRay Davis, who wrote, “…but I think Nicole is funny, Faiz… I’ll rock with you on a couple others tho.”
Byer even commented on the post, writing, “Thank you for thinking for me and posting and having so many people check out my special.”
Although Byer took the rude statement in stride, Black Twitter tore the 53-year-old actor a whole new a**.
One Twitter user expressed that Faizon’s misogynoir was showing and that Byer had an extensive relationship with Netflix.
Nicole’s special is not my cup of tea but Faizon Love needs to look in the mirror.

The most disrespected person on earth is a black woman. @FAIZONLOVE couldn’t get a special on @Tubi if he paid them. Man, if you’re jealous and broke just say that. https://t.co/UENxoBfWFN

Faizon Love is the most miserable black actor I’ve ever seen . He talks bad about the most random people and I’m sure everyone he talks about is doing better than him.

She hosts a wildly successful Netflix series and he used to be Big Worm, 20 years ago. If she wasn’t there to get the bag, it would go to someone else who isn’t Faizon Love. https://t.co/IQmvXiVoYl

One tweet deaded any doubts of Faizon needing to step up his money game instead of taking time to clown Byer.
When I worked as a debt collector, Faizon Love owed $6000 to AT&T Mobility. I know this cuz I had to call him https://t.co/WFiskdAjg1

Although Nicole Byer: Big Beautiful Weirdo managed to earn some harsh reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, Faizon’s display of hatred was inappropriate. Byer deserves to be respected, and he should apologize.
Faizon’s latest career moves, according to IMDB, have been B-movie classics and programming. He may want Byer’s agent.
Did y’all watch her Netflix special?
