In addition, Lorel congratulated Jordan on his new project before revealing that they were classmates in New Jersey.
However, the conversation turned awkward after Jordan recalled an old remark made by her during a podcast.
Lorel said, ‘We go way back, all the way back to Chad Science [Academy] in Newark.’
Jordan replied, ‘Oh yeah, I was the corny kid, right?’
Meanwhile, the radio host tried to laugh off the 36-year-old actor’s comment and urged that she was ‘misquoted.’
But Jordan remained adamant in his statement. He insisted that he directly heard the reporter call him ‘corny.’
Lorel changed the subject by saying, ‘No you did not hear me say that! I said we used to make fun of the name. But yeah, he is killing things out here.’
What did Lorel say about Michael B. Jordan in the past?
Lorel talked about Michael B. Jordan during an episode of the Undressing Room podcast back in 2021.
Besides that, she discussed Jordan’s elaborate Valentine’s Day gift to Lori Harvey alongside her co-hosts, Eva Marcille and Dominique da Diva.
If you didn’t know, the Black Panthers actor rented out an aquarium for his then-girlfriend. He further gifted her the stock certificates of Hermès.
Lorel on the other revealed that she went to school with Jordan and people used to often tease him for his name.
She shared, ‘You know what’s so crazy? I went to school with Michael B. Jordan at a point in life. And to be honest with you, we teased him all the damn time because his name was Michael Jordan. Let’s start there, and he was no Michael Jordan.’
Lorel added, ‘And he also would come to school with a headshot. We lived in Newark, that’s the hood. We would make fun of him like, ‘What you gonna do with your stupid headshot!?’ And now look at him!’
