A video of comedian and actor Tracy Morgan blowing off a homeless man that apparently used to bully him when they were younger has been going viral on social media.
The incident seemingly took place in Manhattan after the Knicks’ game on January 21, as Morgan was wearing Knicks gear and was surrounded by fans of the NBA franchise.
“I remember you. Don’t talk to me like I owe you something,” Morgan says in the clip. “You used to talk all that shit to me when we were younger. You think I forgot?”
When the man replied that “he’s homeless now,” Morgan still didn’t budge: “So what’s that got to do with me? I ain’t do that… I take care of my kids.”

“People are quick to call it ‘harsh’ when the victim remembers and ‘growth’ when the abuser wants grace. Tracy does not owe this man anything. I hate how society has more patience for reformed cruelty than for lingering pain,” read one reply to the video.
“Aye man, Tracy Morgan may be cold, but I get it. Treat people right. People don’t forget their bullies,” a second added.
“All the people in the comments talking about ‘forgiveness’ can f— off. Idc how old you are, you’ll never forget how a bully made you feel and probably changed the whole trajectory of your life because of it…that man don’t owe him s—. If you ain’t been bullied, just STFU,” a third weighed in.
“If the guy who bullied me as a kid was homeless I’d spit in his cup before I drop a coin,” a fourth concurred.
Morgan has an unconfirmed net worth of about $75 million, with a significant amount of that money believed to have come from a lawsuit with Walmart over a 2014 crash involving one of their trucks, which took the life of his friend and fellow comedian Jimmy McNair.
The former 30 Rock star was in a coma for two weeks and suffered a broken femur, broken nose, a traumatic brain injury, and several broken ribs, while also being required to undergo surgery.
Morgan will next be seen starring in the upcoming NBC sitcom The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, from 30 Rock showrunner Robert Carlock, longside Daniel Radcliffe and Bobby Moynihan .
