The pair, who have collaborated on box office hits ‘Creed’ and ‘Fruitvale Station,’ came under fire from some Facebook users after the pic begun doing the rounds.

Taken at a Vanity Fair gala recently, the snap sees Jordan place his hand on Coogler’s head in a way some have chosen to interpret as homosexual. Ridiculous, right?!
