J.R. Smith Has Had Enough With The Hennessy Jokes

J.R. Smith took one picture with Hennessey, and ever since then he’s been associated with the liquor. Smith said that the photo of him drinking a bottle of the liquor after the Cavs  2016 Finals win wasn’t actually Hennessy, but it was merely champagne.

“The funny thing is the picture that everybody talks about with me drinking Henny, it’s a champagne bottle,” he said. “So, I don’t even know how that even came about.”

In response to a viral clip of J.R. walking the hallways accompanied with the caption:

‘This man J.R. really go to my college. He probably off the henny right now,’

JR was not amused.

He commented on the video:

Ight that Henny shit really not funny tho can ya’ll try a different joke! Not really mad at the kid they gone say whatever but @houseofhighlights the disrespect ya’ll post it’s truly enough. As a black man in America you still can’t move on from the bullshit that people continue to put on your name! Not one positive post about going to school and trying to myself! Ya’ll make it look so weak/corney to inspire people to want to do better you consistently bring up an post bullshit.

I’m excited @TheRealJRSmith goes to #NCAT but y’all need to realize he is a person trying to better himself. Give him his space and privacy. Network with him and engage in intellectual and meaningful conversation. Proud of you J.R., do your thing. #AggiePride 💙💛💯 pic.twitter.com/z1SoSZb8aV
