However, Harris‘ weight hasn’t actually changed all that much and he hit back with, “Bra I weighed 240 last year. Reporters really don’t be knowing nothing just be tweeting shit.”

He followed that tweet up with, “Some reporters be straight cornballs.” So, he clearly wasn’t pleased with the report!

So, when an athlete takes the time to fire back, you know you’ve really touched a nerve.
