Several Big Brother alumni have slammed current houseguest Kamu Kirk for a controversial video he made referencing the late George Floyd.
In a recently resurfaced Instagram video from December 2025, Kamu, 32, filmed a person who appeared to be getting arrested. While the unidentified person was shouting, the MMA fighter made a joke about Floyd, who was killed by a Minneapolis police officer in May 2020.
“I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe. Bro thinks he’s George Floyd,” Kamu said in the clip, which has been archived in his Instagram Story highlights.
The video went viral, leading fans and former Big Brother players to slam Kamu for his remarks.
“I just wanted to say that video of Kamu mocking George Floyd is incredibly disappointing,” season 21 alum Kat Dunn wrote via Chat BCC on Thursday, July 30. “I also think the fact that he recorded it as recent as seven months ago and felt proud enough to add it to his ig highlights is just pure weirdo behavior. In fact, I’ve seen enough of Kamu to know that that is not someone I want to associate with in the future.”
Brendon Villegas, who is married to fellow season 12 alum Rachel Reilly, also admitted that Kamu’s remarks were not shocking.
“I really wish this stuff spilled in the house so we could see the discourse,” the reality TV vet wrote in Chat BCC. “When I hear Joe Rogan is your hero, I don’t expect much.”
Quinn Martin, who competed alongside current houseguest Angela Murray on Big Brother 26, quipped, “What happened to background checks?”
Season 27 alum Jimmy Heagerty described the video as “disgusting” and called for Kamu’s removal from the show.
“This goes beyond game,” Jimmy wrote in Chat BCC on Thursday. “Kamu shouldn’t be in that house”
Big Brother 15 winner Andy Herren, whose season was full of controversial houseguests, agreed that Kamu’s video was “extremely disgusting but not shocking.”
“People gave me a lot of s*** for not speaking out more on my season, so I’ve truly done my best to speak up after,” he wrote via Chat BCC on Thursday. “Here to say that I will not f*** with that man post-show and it will be hard to watch him moving forward.”
Season 28 alum Morgan Pope tweeted on Thursday that she had reached out to someone who is “in a position to help address the situation.”
“I know this can be very triggering for many of us, so please take a step back from the internet if it becomes overwhelming & don’t hesitate to protect your peace,” she wrote via X. “If you feel able, then I encourage you to continue using your voice & speaking up in whatever way feels right for you ✨.”
Season 16 alum Frankie Grande, who has been critical of Kamu all season, also expressed his desire to see the athlete pulled from the game.
“You guys. Enough. How is this monster still in the house. WHAT THE F***?!” Frankie wrote via X.
Us has reached out to CBS for comment.
This isn’t the first time Kamu has made headlines while inside the house. Earlier this month, he sparked controversy for his remarks about not wanting to dress in drag after fellow houseguest Drew Campbell rocked a pair of unicorn-themed pajamas. The remark was made while professional drag queen Jason De Puy — also known as Salina EsTitties — was in the house. During Kamu’s Head of Household reign this past week, he put Jason on the block as a replacement nominee. The RuPaul’s Drag Race alum was voted out on Thursday evening.
Big Brother airs on CBS Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at 8 p.m. ET.
