Tyrus Calls Steph Curry a “Snowflake” Live on Fox News — Curry’s Blazing Social Media Clapback Flips the Script

Tyrus: The 'polite racism cracks me up'

It started as just another sharp-tongued segment on Fox News — until Tyrus, the wrestler-turned-pundit, took aim at Stephen Curry. On live television, Tyrus mocked the Warriors star for declining an invitation to a White House event, dismissing him as “just an athlete who can shoot a ball” and branding him a “snowflake” — a dig meant to paint Curry as fragile and overly sensitive.

The clip spread quickly, igniting a storm of commentary online. Some cheered Tyrus’ bluntness, others called it an unnecessary personal jab. But Curry, who had remained silent for weeks after the Warriors’ playoff exit, wasn’t about to let this one slide.

Less than two hours later, he appeared in a short, unfiltered Instagram video. Looking straight into the camera, Curry said, “If standing up for the community I love makes me a ‘snowflake’… then call me a blizzard.” His voice was steady, his expression unreadable — a tone that felt less like an outburst and more like a statement of intent.

Within minutes, #SnowstormCurry began trending on Twitter. Fans flooded the tag with images of Curry mid-shot surrounded by snow effects, GIFs of blizzards, and quotes from the video. Celebrities, fellow athletes, and even political figures joined the conversation, praising his quick wit and conviction.

By the end of the night, what began as an insult had transformed into a rallying cry. In a matter of hours, Tyrus’ attempt to diminish Curry had backfired spectacularly, cementing the NBA star’s reputation not just as a sharpshooter — but as someone who knows exactly when, and how, to fire back.
