Black Mafia Family revolves around the real-life origin story of two brothers in 1980s Detroit who rose to become one of the most influential crime families.

Lamar Jackson, who shares his name with the character, was obviously disappointed by the parallel. Hence, he took to Twitter to share his disappointment. “Why buddy from BMF got my name,” he angrily tweeted.

Lamar is Furious After Baltimore Ravens’ Heavy Loss to Bengals

After the disappointing outing against the Bengals, Jackson spoke to the press and explained how individual mistakes, especially his, cost them the game. He pointed out three turnovers that shouldn’t have happened and hoped that they learn and do better next time.

“Coach had to make that decision. I was cool with it for sure. Just trying to protect us and stuff like that, so I was cool with it. But it’s definitely tough. I hate losing. You don’t wanna see the score tilted and stuff like that for sure.”
