Kevin Nash Refuses To Apologize After Controversial Comments About WWE Star

Kevin Nash won’t be saying sorry anymore after his racially-charged comments about a WWE star.

Je’Von Evans has been lighting up WWE for quite some time, with NXT fans all too well-versed in his athletic prowess. Now, Evans has taken his bouncy style to the main roster, having a standout performance at the 2026 Royal Rumble, where he lasted over 40 minutes, making him the Iron Man in that match.

Speaking previously on his podcast, Kevin Nash described why he wants to see more of an edge to Evans’ character and in-ring style, but in doing so, used language that many interpreted as racist:

He’s an incredible athlete. He’s a little bit too f***ing Mr. Bojangles for me. I wish he was a little bit more urban. I understand it’s Netflix. I understand there’s a big f***ing world out there besides the one that f***ing 66-year-old Detroit boy Kevin Nash wants, but I just want him to have a little bit of an edge.

And that did not go down well at all, with many pointing at the racial insensitivities of Nash’s comments.

Kevin Nash Is Fed Up With Fan Backlash

Now, after apologising for using the Mr. Bojangles term, Kevin Nash is done apologising as he turned the tables while discussing the controversy on his Kliq This podcast:

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.’

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.

Returning to the original controversy, Nash told those who responded to his message in harsh tones that they wouldn’t say the things they write online to his face:

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.
