There is no evidence Michael B. Jordan criticized and rejected Kim Kardashian on X. The separate claim that she asked if he was single also appeared to originate from a parody X account.
In March 2026, following Michael B. Jordan's best actor win at the Academy Awards, social media users shared a rumor that he criticized and rejected reality TV star Kim Kardashian on X after she allegedly asked the actor if he was single.
For example, one X user claimed Jordan "didn't hold back" when responding to "Kardashian's viral comment asking if he's single." The user shared a composite image featuring a screenshot purportedly showing the actor's X post (archived), which read:
I'm good.
Every time a successful Black man is winning, somehow you try to insert yourself into the moment and shift the narrative. Not happening here.
I worked too hard for this to turn into something else. Respectfully... keep me out of it.

The rumor also appeared on Facebook (archived) and Threads (archived), where other users included Kardashian's supposed original remark about Jordan's Oscar win: "He deserves it. And is he single? Asking for a friend." Snopes readers searched the site for the exchange, wondering if it was real.
In short, there is no evidence Jordan posted a rejection of Kardashian to X, nor that the reality TV star even asked about his relationship status after the Academy Awards. The rumor about Kardashian's inquiry reportedly originated from a parody account on X. Therefore, we rated this claim false.
Searching for numerous variations of keywords relating to the claim about Jordan uncovered no credible news media reports on the alleged exchange, except for fact check outlets debunking the rumor. If it had occurred,

The Google searches for the exchange similarly did not yield any evidence of Kardashian asking about Jordan's relationship status. She did not make such a statement on any of her verified Instagram, Facebook, X or TikTok accounts.
Numerous outlets published articles fact-checking whether the reality TV star asked if the Oscar-winner was single. All reported X account Hoops Crave as the origin of that claim and pointed to a since-deleted post from the page. Hoops Crave describes itself as a parody account.
Hoops Crave made at least two other posts about Jordan following his best actor win.
