For the past 24 hours, Empire emeritus Terrence Howard has been the brunt of a Twitter meme spree that has garnered thousands of retweets and plenty of real-time laughs.
For no good reason at all, Chicago Bears podcast “79th And Halas” co-host Flows Andolini had a simple request: he’d like to see Howard photoshopped as a Star Wars Jedi Knight.

Almost immediately, the creativity of the internet immediately flourished, with everyone personalizing the memes using Howard’s suave typecast “mayne” catchphrase.

This isn’t Howard’s first time getting clowned over his liberal use of “mayne,” either.

Back in 2008, Jamie Foxx felt a bit aways over a CNN interview Howard conducted panning his Ray co-star’s music and Foxx went in during a Big Boy interview of his own.
A few years later, Howard would appear on Sway in the Morning to openly apologize for the diss.
