Marvin Sapp Turns Viral Controversy Into A Song — But Not Everyone’s Praising Him

We’ve all heard the saying that black people look alike. Just last week, a woman thought Kevin Hart was Chris Rock. But imagine being Sleepy Hollow’s Orlando Jones and having to always answer the question, “Are you Tyler James Williams’ father?”

You may remember Williams from Everybody Hates Chris, as well as Dear White People. Sure, he kind of resembles Jones, but Jones is once again setting the record straight.

Last week the popular website CelebsLike.Me got people riled up on social media because of which celeb look-alikes it matched people up with. Jones probably had the most hilarious one of them all:

Jones also made it clear about who he’s not on his Twitter bio. “Not the little boy from Everybody Hates Chris. Not Solange Knowles. Not Orlando Bloom. Not Juwanna Mann. Not Jeff Goldblum in blackface. Not Mos Def,” Jones wrote.

Orlando Bloom? Nope. Don’t see it at all.
