As Idris Elba sits perched in his lustrous throne atop handsome hill, the rest of the brothas (who aren’t him) revel in their pity. Not really. But one man, Nova, is tired of all the hooplah surrounding Elba’s chocolatey goodness and decided to pen a poem “I’m Sorry I’m Not Idris Elba” for all the regular dudes (like him) out there…you know, the ones that keep the lights on with their 9-5 jobs.
Well, #BlackTwitter got a hold of Nova’s cries and responded with their own poetic stanzas. Check out the funniest reactions to the “I’m Sorry I’m Not Idris Elba” poem.
