damn…. that landlord shit really did put a strain on them…

In October 2019 Eric Andre endorsed Bernie Sanders for president to which Hannibal publicly commented “too old.” People did not react favorably to this and then it came to light that Hannibal Buress is a landlord and opposed the prospect of rent control. THEN it came to light that he wanted to convert the housing he owned into an AirB&B Hotel (which he discussed in his act as well as at least one podcast but allegedly others) which meant he terminated some of his tenants’ leases early (though he did allegedly offer them monetary compensation for the move). Hannibal can also be seen personally trolling “nobodies” on twitter messaging them privately which may not be super relevant but to me demonstrates how this was very personal to him. Clearly the idea of Bernie getting elected got him really heated. Was it directly connected to his fairly recent accumulation of wealth?? Who can say? But the speculation here implies the moral incompatibility has affected their professional relationship if not their personal one.

I literally had to block Hannibal on Twitter because he started messaging and spamming me after I called him out for being a landlord and saying he had shitty jokes (in reference to him making jokes about Bill Cosby and date r*pe and the mic cutting out during it). He name searched himself in order to do so, I (or no one else) had tagged him. He’s just that anal.

He’s just not a pleasant person at all.
