Legendary comedian Steve Harvey unintentionally caused quite a stir on social media after a Twitter user suggested that the “Family Feud” talk show host was attractive. 

On Monday, Sept. 21, the person, who goes by the Twitter handle Written By Hanna, tweeted Steve with a video of internet sensation Saucy Santana. In the clip, Santana was overheard rapping, “Park that big mack trunk, right in this little garage,” the lyrics from Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s hit record “WAP.”

No word on what may have promoted the user to create this post, but folks on the internet were left in stitches and disbelief considering the sexually driven context and the public figure it was addressed to. One person tweeted, “I just want better for my people” and attached a photo of actress Issa Rae looking distressed. 

Another user wrote, “I’m here if you need someone to talk to❤️,” alongside a photo of actress and comedian MoNique. 

A third person commented, “You have to be a sick person to look at stevie Harvey and think ‘mmmmhmm.’” While another chimed in, “Are you okay? What’s going on today? It’s been a bit MUCH.”

Steve has never really been the one to boast about his charming looks. However, the 63-year-old game show host does take pride in his fashion, especially when it comes to his suits. Just last week, the “Little Big Shots” host had fans swooning over him when he decided to switch things up a bit.  

On Sept. 17, the 63-year-old shared a picture of himself on Instagram sporting a custom Dolce and Gabbana Alta Satoria two-piece leather suit. Steve paired the look with a crisp white dress shirt and highly polished black leather boots. The comedian made sure to leave a few buttons on the shirt undone, showing off a little bit of his chest, which added a sense of edginess to his look. “Custom @dolcegabbana styled by @elly30 Head to toe leather,” the actor captioned the post that garnered over 98,000 likes. 

Fans were feeling Steve’s look, including one fan who wrote, “You are cleaner than the inside of a Clorox bottle Steve!!🔥🔥🔥🔥,” while another person commented, “Mr “GQ” Looking Sharp 🔥🔥🔥😍😍.”

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
