NFL Star Alvin Kamara Immediately Flooded with Responses After Sharing His Desire to ‘Hire a Girlfriend’ 

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara has a lot of women hollering at him right now.

That’s because the NFL star sent a tweet and said he no longer wants to be single — especially now that’s it’s freezing cold in most parts of the United States.

Alvin Kamara tweeted that he wanted a girlfriend and a bunch of women responded.

“I’m finna hire a girlfriend,” he tweeted on Thursday. “It’s too cold outside.”

And after that, the social media floodgates opened up, and the many responses came pouring in.

“I want to be his girlfriend. I want to be his photographer,” one woman wrote.

“You might as well pay me,” wrote another. “You won’t be disappointed.”

There were also some who said they didn’t need to be “hired” as his girlfriend, they’d simply volunteer. “I’ll be your girlfriend for free,” one woman tweeted.

The memes and GIFs also came swiftly.

For example, one woman showed a photo of NBA star Kemba Walker hitting a jump shot at the top of the key, obviously to imply that she was shooting her shot in the same way. Then another woman with the Twitter handle Sugar Honey Iced Tea posted a GIF of Cardi B asking “What’s poppin?”

Some women even took Kamara’s tweet like an actual job post and submitted their photos and qualifications. Plus, one of his admirers gave him an actual time limit to respond.

“If he don’t reply tonight then I know he scary,” someone wrote.

Whether Kamara actually responded to any of the women through direct message is unknown, but that may be revealed in the near future.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
