In 2023 a Twitter account in his name replied to other users and used the terms "straight up loser", "dim wit dem", and "utterly pathetic" among others. In an email to The Chronicle, McEntire stated that control of the account was "handed off to a kid from Vancouver to use" after an earlier statement that claimed the posts were "photoshopped".[4]
