Big Brother Alum Explains Controversial George Floyd Remark

Kamu Kirk, a former contestant on Big Brother 28, has broken his silence regarding a resurfaced video containing a remark about George Floyd. On October 9, 2026, Kirk shared a video to explain the full context behind the viral clip. He stated that the video, filmed approximately a year prior, captured his reaction to a disorderly man being arrested. Kirk clarified that he was surprised by the man's comparison of his situation to George Floyd's, and his quip, 'Bro thinks he's George Floyd,' was a reaction to the perceived irony, not a mockery of Floyd or his death.

Kirk indicated he initially did not feel obligated to address the controversy, as the criticism came from people who did not know him. However, he decided to speak out after learning that his Big Brother 28 castmates, including LaTrice Verett and Taylor Brown, were being harassed online. He shared that these castmates were receiving direct messages and comments on their social media, being tagged in posts related to his controversial video. Kirk stressed that his actions were not in support of police brutality and that the full video provides a clearer understanding of the situation.
