The 35-year-old comedian further said, “I just found it crazy,” before adding “He posted that to Twitter. That’s what OG posted. I hope that it wasn’t him, though.”

“This don’t seem like Steve Harvey's behavior,” she added.

“Even with ‘Family Feud,’ I still don’t feel like this was a good question. Because like, in today’s world right now where everything is already negative on social media, like, any and everything, by our own people, I’ma say that, um for you to post something like that, is clownin’.”
