N.O.R.E. is Getting Killed on Instagram After Posting This Zombie-like Selfie, and He Responds to the Hate

Fans of the Drink Champs host have... a few choice words to say about his "embalmed-looking" selfie.

The comment section of some social media posts can be brutal. And N.O.R.E.’s recent post has many of his followers scratching their heads in confusion.

N.O.R.E., whose real name is Victor James Santiago Jr., posted a selfie on Instagram on March 17. The 47-year-old shared the snapshot with his 1.6 million followers, but it wasn’t the post’s caption (β€œOn my way to work!!!”) or what he was wearing that left fans puzzled, but his seemingly β€œembalmed-looking” appearance.

The β€œSuperthug” rapper was pictured looking down at the camera in what looks like the backseat of a Maybach. He was wearing a navy blue jacket, sunglasses, gold chains, and a black shirt.

However, based on his muted expression and pose, many fans teased that the β€œDrink Champs” host looked β€œcasket ready.”

β€œBro look like one of the funerals where they be having the body standing up,” one user wrote, while another penned how β€œBro looks dead.” The ruthless comments continued: β€œBoy look like a wax figure,” β€œArrest his barber,” and β€œThe stencil goatee is crazy.” Others compared his goatee to the Lowe’s handy store logo with concerns on whether β€œhis liver [is] okay.”

Another social media user said he looks β€œlike a Simpsons character,” while another dissed him for taking β€œgrandpa pics” with a β€œlaying in the casket glow.”

β€œHe got sautΓ©ed and deep fried,” one Instagram user slammed, while others said he β€œLook like a old reggae artist that just got out of jail.” Others asked where his wife and children are while another suggested N.O.R.E. β€œpick another look AND another angle” because β€œhe looks deceased.”

The comments didn’t seem to phase him, as he posted a second selfie the same day β€” but this time β€” he smiled. β€œ444 6 before 6,” he wrote in the caption.

The comment section was a bit more supportive that go round, but many still felt bewildered, with one follower asking: β€œWhere the real N.O.R.E at? This is Morgan from fear the walking dead.”
