It's official: Michael B. Jordan's directorial debut is a megahit. The acclaimed actor has been assisting in crafting the Creedverse for nearly a decade, and for the third installment, he went all out. Not only did he star in the film, but he helmed the director's chair, which proved successful. This, of course, was also aided by costars like Tessa Thompson and Jonathan Majors, and their press runs have been filled with laughs and revelations.
Most recently, Jordan and Majors sat down with Complex, where they named their GOATs. From athletes to food to entertainers to—of course—rappers, the Creed III stars get real about their favorites. At one point, Majors also asked Jordan to choose between Jay-Z and Tupac Shakur. It was a decision that he struggled with. "Listen, y'all," Jordan joked. "This ain't cool."
Michael B. Jordan Makes His Choices
Majors chimed in to agree that this would be a difficult choice. Jordan further added, "They're right there," as he made hand motions to suggest it was a close call. Then, Jordan ignored the options at hand and answered, "Drake. Fight me." Majors was visibly surprised—and confused. "You said Drake?!" Jordan answered, "Fight me!"
Jonathan Majors laughed at his friend and asked, "What happened to Pac?" It was a question that Jordan skipped over. "Man, consistently, for how long across genres," Jordan seemed to say, referencing Drizzy. Jonathan still was baffled and added that Tupac's life was cut short. This fact is why Jordan said he placed the late icon in the "untouchable" category. "Great. This is not untouchable talk," Majors replied. "This is GOAT talk."
Additionally, Majors chose Jay-Z as his GOAT before Jordan explained why Hov didn't take the title. According to him, Drake pens rhymes that speak directly to things he's experienced "consistently." It also helps that the pair are also friends and have been spotted partying together or sitting courtside at sports events. These GOAT talks also spark a discussion, and it's clear that this is the catalyst for the next viral conversation. Swipe above to get a better context of the discussion.
