Florida A&M Announcer In Serious Hot Water For Cracking Nasty “Ozempic” Joke About Alabama State’s “Plus-Size Dance Team” On The Stadium Loudspeaker Following Halftime Routine [VIDEO]

The ASU Honey Beez were completely disrespected during their last performance.

During the halftime show of the Alabama State vs. Florida A&M football game at Bragg Memorial Stadium on Saturday, controversy would kick off after Marching 100 band announcer Joe Bullard made an insensitive remark regarding the ASU Honey Beez following their halftime performance.

Bullard made an unprovoked off-color comment about the size of Alabama State University’s dancers.

“Congratulate them, they are now the new face of Ozempic,” Bullard said to a chorus of boos and shocked reactions from the crowd. As we all know, Ozempic is the prescription medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes and sold for weight-loss purposes.

The ASU Honey Beez are a well-known plus-sized dance team that often performs with ASU’s Mighty Marching Hornets.

The squad was founded in 2004 and is composed only of plus-size female students. They are an inspiration, not something to be mocked.

The minimum weight requirement to be a Honey Bee is approximately between 230 and 250 pounds.

Marching 100 band announcer Joe Bullard made an insensitive remark about them during a recent game. He has since delivered a much-deserved apology through Facebook, stating that what he said “crossed a line,” and he never meant to “belittle or disrespect” ASU’s Honey Beez.

FAMU President Marva Johnson also apologized and stated that she stands with ASU, stating that Bullard’s remarks were “disparaging and classless.”

Johnson also made it known that the university will take immediate action to ensure accountability measures are taken to prevent actions like that from happening again.

As of this writing, nothing has been finalized on the status of Bullard’s involvement with the university.

On the other side, Alabama State President Dr. Quinton T. Ross called his comments “distasteful” while adding that he personally spoke with Johnson as well as the Commissioner of the Southwestern Athletic Conference to express his displeasure with Bullard’s comments.

“The Honey Beez, along with Mighty Marching Hornets, dedicate countless hours to their craft to deliver unforgettable, show-stopping performances that embody the pride and excellence of Alabama State University. To have their artistry disrespected after such a performance is absolutely unacceptable,”

“I stand firmly with the Honey Beez, the Mighty Marching Hornets, and our entire student body. Honey Beez, please know that you are celebrated, valued, and admired for the joy you bring to Hornet Nation, and also for the bold and fearless way you represent the very best of ASU. Continue to shine, because your light cannot be dimmed by negativity.”
