Fans Defend Russell Wilson After a Twitter User Calls Out the Football Player for ‘Changing His Voice’ While Picking Out Suits with Wife Ciara and Their Friends: ‘I’m So Tired of Folks Coming for This Man Over Every Little Thing’

Russell Wilson‘s fans came to the football player’s defense after a Twitter user pointed out how his tone changes in different environments.

This remark came after Wilson uploaded a fashion video with his wife Ciara and their friends.

In a post that was shared on Sept. 23, on some of Wilson’s social media platforms, including Instagram and TikTok, the group was seen helping the 33-year-old pick out suits for undisclosed events. 

The Denver Broncos quarterback started the video by saying, “So when you at the house, you in you own kitchen, you got to get the whole squad here to pick out your suits. This is how you do it, it’s either a yes or no. You love it or you don’t like it. Are you ready? Y’all ready.”

Throughout the clip, Ciara and the group were heard saying “yes or no” as Wilson swiped through the photos on his phone. Following their reaction, Wilson said, “All right, y’all did pretty good. That’s how you do that right there.” 

In addition to the video, Wilson wrote the caption, “Friday Night Picks w/ the Homies + @Ciara’s Matcha Häagen-Dazs.” As the upload circulated online, a Twitter user named @dianteleefb brought up how Wilson changes his demeanor, including his voice, when he’s around a different group of people. 

While mentioning the word code-switching, that person wrote, “The way this man changes his voice based on his environment goes beyond code-switching.” Code-switching means alternating between languages for multiple reasons, including showing solidarity with a specific social group. 

As the tweet went viral and began making its rounds on social media blog sites like The Neighborhood Talk, many mentioned that Wilson isn’t the only individual who participates in code-switching.

“DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTS CALL FOR DIFFERENT BEHAVIOR NOTHING TO SEE HERE…CARRY ON.”

“I thought everyone turn they professional voice off when they not working lol.”

“Aye you gotta be able to that in this World a lil bit. It can have its advantages.”

“All black people code-switch you never heard yo mama on an important call I bet she sound real sheryll’ish they be trying they best to come for him just cause he’s married loyal and not disrespecting women habitually.”

Among the previous responses, others questioned why people feel it’s necessary to constantly make fun of Wilson on social media despite appearing to be an all-around “good guy.”

One wrote, “I’m so tired of folks coming for this man over every little thing. What did he do to some of y’all?” Another said, “What is really the beef about this dude? I mean he seems like he’s in love with his wife and takes care of his kids from the outside looking in. Wtf is the damn problem.”

A third person said, “Why do people dislike him so much he seems like a good guy.”

Wilson has yet to respond to the Twitter post.
