 Since Muhammad Ali passed away on Friday, many celebrities have taken to social media to celebrate the all-time great boxing champ for his deeds both inside and outside of the ring. Piers Morgan , however, decided that this was a good time to share his theory that Ali said far more racist comments than presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump . Chris Brown , known for not being afraid to speak his mind, clapped back with a vicious rebuttal. And he wasn't the only musician who critiqued Morgan for his negative words on the late boxer. 
 
 Morgan tweeted out his thoughts about Ali just two days after his passing, and Chris Brown was having none of it. 
 
 Muhammad Ali said far more inflammatory/racist things about white people than Donald Trump ever has about Muslims. #fact 
 
 Breezy took Morgan to task in a expletive laden comment on Instagram: "Irrelevant BROADCASTING!!!!! IS ALI RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT????? I CANT WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO WAKE THE F*** UP.. What do I know??? I'm just a "BAD BOY R&B" singer. WE HAVE NO LEADERS OR EVEN ANYONE WITH A BACKBONE TO HELP! ITS ABOUT A HANDFUL OF BLACKS THEY USE AS PUPPETS TODAY. YALL KNOW WHO THEY ARE! SPEAK LOGICALLY AND FROM THE HEART AS WELL OR JUST SHUT THE F*** UP!!!!" the singer wrote. 
 
 Morgan followed up with another controversial thought, and this tim John Legend had some sharp words in response:

 Piers Morgan was shot down as he discussed Muhammad Ali during Good Morning Britain. 
 
 Over the weekend the outspoken host was met with a backlash when he claimed Ali was responsible for a number of 'racist' comments following his death on Friday. 
 
 He tweeted: "Muhammad Ali said far more inflammatory/racist things about white people than Donald Trump ever has about Muslims. #fact." 
 
 Piers looked to be trying to justify his comments about the boxer when he presented Good Morning Britain on Monday.

 Speaking to barrister Miranda Brawn, he said: "There was another side to Ali, he was incredibly controversial." 
 
 Piers continued: "His preferred world is segregated. Black people living with black people, white people living with white people." 
 
 He then added that some of Ali's comments about race relations would receive 'an incredibly different reaction' if they were said now.

 But guest Miranda didn't let Piers' comments go uncontested as she set the record straight about Ali's racial agenda. 
 
 She instead reminded Piers that Ali was integral in helping improve self-pride amongst black people. 
 
 She explained: "If you look at the interview where he said that, he said we've got to get the black people sorted first. We've got to integrate black people and make them have a sense of pride. 
 
 She added: "He was one of the first black people to say being black is beautiful."

 Piers would then try to agree, calling Ali a 'pivotal figure' and questioning why more black athletes don't follow his lead when it comes to political issues.

 To which John responded: "@johnlegend from what? trolling isn't a job (I've tried)." 
 
 Chrissy then quipped: "@johnlegend from what? trolling isn't a job (I've tried)." 
 
 Piers didn't take the digs lying down, tweeting back: "Maybe I should take up a proper job, like modelling?," in reference to Chrissy's career.

 Nope, not today! Less than 48 hours after Muhammad Ali’s death, Piers Morgan trolled Twitter by claiming that the boxing legend was more racist than Donald Trump — and John Legend and Chrissy Teigen were not having it. 
 
 On Sunday, June 5, the British journalist, 51, tweeted, “Muhammad Ali said far more inflammatory/racist things about white people than Donald Trump ever has about Muslims. #fact. Why sugar-coat what Ali said or stood for? He never did that to himself, or when speaking to others. I hope people don’t make me sound too perfect when I die. No coats of sugar please.”

 The controversial post immediately made headlines as social media users slammed Morgan, who responded in a series of follow-up tweets, writing, “Why would stating that Muhammad Ali made a lot of inflammatory, race-charged statements in his life be remotely controversial? He did. I’m sorry for ‘saying inflammatory things for attention.’ That’s the last thing Muhammad Ali would have condoned.” 
 
 
 
 Legend, 37, came across the TV personality’s tweets and responded, “You could test us by announcing your retirement,” to which Teigen, 30, joined in, replying to her hubby, “From what? Trolling isn’t a job (I’ve tried).”

 Morgan fired back at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, writing, “Maybe I should take up a proper job, like modeling?” 
 
 
 
 “It keeps me nice and not-racist so sure, give it a go,” she responded. The Daily Mail Online U.S. editor-at-large shot back, “I’m not racist either, so that makes two of us.” 
 
 But it was Teigen who got the last laugh, jabbing, “Remember when Bruce Willis didn’t know he was dead? It’s like that,” in reference to the surprising end of the actor’s 1999 film The Sixth Sense. 
 
 
 
 Morgan further discussed Ali’s death during an episode of Good Morning Britain on Monday, June 6. “There was another side to Ali. He was incredibly controversial,” the morning show host said of the legendary boxer, who died on Friday, June 3, at age 74, before adding, “People need to be unafraid to be bold.” 
 
 Later on Monday, Morgan reignited the feud with another tweet. “You may want to read my new column about Ali & racism, @johnlegend @chrissyteigen — you may learn something,” he wrote. 
 
 
 
 Teigen fired back, writing, “Sorry can’t read, just a model doing modeling. Troll recognize troll. I can’t tweet him anymore. He has fans somehow and they … they aren’t quite ‘all there’, as they say.” 
 
 She added, “My newborn just looked up at me and said ‘mommy, why is piers morgan so unequivocally douchy?’ i didn’t know what to say,” and “Piers Morgan searches his name every 4.8 seconds. Hi, Piers. I know you’re reading this. You unequivocal douche.”

– Piers Morgan thinks Muhammad Ali was "the greatest superstar icon of my lifetime," but he also thinks the boxer was racist, at least early in his life. "Muhammad Ali said far more inflammatory/racist things about white people than Donald Trump ever has about Muslims. #fact," Morgan tweeted Sunday. He followed that up with a Daily Mail column in which he explained that he's not trying to disrespect Ali, but he was irked by people dumping on Trump after Trump mourned Ali on Twitter and he just wanted "to offer the anti-Trump brigade some historical perspective about their own hero as they vented their collective spleen." He then listed quotes from Ali proving his point, most of which came from Ali's 10-year stint as "frontman" of the Nation of Islam and "were not just outrageously racist but also anti-Semitic, sexist, and homophobic," Morgan wrote. He noted that Ali's views changed as he matured, but his comments are still getting a lot of blowback: John Legend and Chrissy Teigen jumped into a Twitter feud with Morgan, Us reports. Quite a few people piled on Morgan on Twitter, leading him to tweet, "I hope people don't make me sound too perfect when I die. No coats of sugar please." Legend's response: "you could test us by announcing your retirement." His wife took it from there, tweeting, "from what? trolling isn't a job (I've tried)," to which Morgan responded, "Maybe I should take up a proper job, like modelling?" Teigen's response: "it keeps me nice and not-racist so sure, give it a go." It got more petty from there, with Teigen eventually tweeting, "my newborn just looked up at me and said 'mommy, why is piers morgan so unequivocally douchy?' i didn't know what to say" and Morgan responding, "My 4 kids all just looked at me and said: 'Daddy, who's Chrissy Teigen?'" before calling Teigen a "ludicrous swimwear accessory." Per attn:, other Twitter users "destroyed" Morgan's argument about Ali, like the one who posted, "Rich white men of privilege should have nothing to say about how black Americans responded to Jim Crow." Other sites agree: Uproxx, for example, says Morgan got "owned" by social media users. Even Chris Brown got in on the action, BET reports: On Instagram, Brown wrote, "Irrelevant BROADCASTING!!!!! IS ALI RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT????? I CANT WAIT FOR PEOPLE TO WAKE THE F*** UP." Morgan got "shot down" again when he discussed his comments on Good Morning Britain on Monday, the Mirror reports. A lawyer on the show pointed out that many of Ali's comments were meant to instill "a sense of pride" in black people: "He was one of the first black people to say being black is beautiful."
