'Queen Sugar' Hottie Kofi Siriboe Claps Back at Hater Who Criticizes His Praise of Black Women

Meanwhile, Twitter has a new bae.

If you haven't heard of Kofi Siriboe by now, it's time to wake up and smell the strong, dark roast. The Queen Sugar actor has become a star these past few months thanks to his acting chops, his chocolate bod, and now, his love for his mother and all "bold, Black" women.
