Trevone Drags Wilson Thanksgiving Dinner, Apologizes After

During the Friday episode, Boykin explained that as “a kid from Dallas, Texas” who grew up in “a traditional household” where family always came together, he initially perceived Russell Wilson’s catered Thanksgiving with no family present as unusual. He admitted he should have provided more context for his remark and acknowledged that the Wilson household never asked for their private life to be discussed publicly. Boykin also apologized specifically to Ciara’s son, Future, stressing that he shared a moment from “10 years ago” and that they “didn’t deserve” to have personal details aired.

He continued by saying that he’s still new to podcasting, with the show having fewer than 10 episodes, and that mistakes are part of the learning curve. Boykin emphasized that his intent wasn’t to disrespect anyone, particularly Russell Wilson or his family, and made it clear he hopes to maintain good standing with Future fans while being more mindful about what he shares publicly moving forward.

Roomies Pop Off Over His Apology

And chile, the comment section went off! Folks umped into The Shade Room comments like there was no tomorrow. Some said the apology didn’t feel genuine, others called it jealousy at its finest, a few applauded Trevone for going public, and plenty felt he was getting cooked and had no choice but to spin the block.

One Instagram user @iamelocopeland said, “Again, Ciara & Russell, your majesties, I’ll take his invite next year 😌”

This Instagram user @queeenbee6 added, “Keep speaking on how your family does things yet you weren’t with them 😂make it make sense“

And, Instagram user @thenadilew wrote, “He could’ve not spoke on it at all actually. Not more context, not articulating it better. It was nothing to share period.“

Meanwhile, Instagram user @mochahontas.__ commented, “Jealousy and envy is all it was. He wants what Russ has.“

Instagram user @mr.silva2you shared, “Lol bro been getting cooked he had no choice 😂”

Lastly, Instagram user @jdfadedu wrote, “He solid for apologizing publicly. Now let’s wrap this up & enjoy the upcoming holidays.“

So, What Exactly Did Boykin Say?

In case you missed it, a clip of Trevone Boykin spilling about a past Thanksgiving at Russell Wilson and Ciara’s house recently resurfaced on social media  and chile… the way he described it had folks talking. He labeled the intimate gathering “weird” since Russell’s family wasn’t there and added that if he had Russell’s money and Alaska Airlines hookup, he’d be flying everyone out for a fancy feast. The dinner reportedly included just Ciara, Russell, the nanny, Baby Future, Trevone, and a few others—but at the end of the day, it’s Russ and Ciara’s celebration, and they get to pick who makes the guest list.

Ever since Russell Wilson’s mom went off Trevone Boykin hasn’t been the same. In a resurfaced post making the rounds, Tammy Wilson didn’t hold back after Boykin commented on her son’s Thanksgiving, stepping boldly into TSR’s comment section with a full-on sermon. Tammy clocked him with Russ “thought enough of you, who has a criminal history, to love you enough to invite you over,” and “I hope you felt relevant for a few minutes.” Whew! And, if that wasn’t enough, Boykin also caught major backlash from Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson during their podcast, leaving him fully in the hot seat.
