After Michael B Jordan won Best Actor at the 98th Oscars, a quote claiming that Kim Kardashian asked if he was single 'for a friend' started spreading on social media. The post first appeared on Hoops Crave but was later deleted.

The viral quote read, “He deserves it. And is he single? Asking for a friend.” Another X user shared a screenshot of the post, suggesting Kim might be showing interest in Jordan. The post claimed, "Kim Kardashian might just be sh-00-ting her shot — and fans are noticing everything. At the Oscars, Kim was spotted looking extra happy for Michael B. Jordan after his big win ❤️. Reports say she gave him a very sweet look and even allegedly asked if he’s still single 😳"

It also sparked fan reactions online, with some pointing out that Kim is still linked to Lewis Hamilton and wondering if she might be moving on. Others discussed Michael B. Jordan’s dating history, questioning whether Kim would be interested in that.

The post read, "Now here’s where it gets interesting… Kim is still being linked to Lewis Hamilton, but this move has fans wondering if she’s already eyeing her next chapter 😬💔 Michael B. Jordan is known for his pattern — dating, then moving on before the year ends 👀… so people are asking: Is Kim ready for that kind of ride? 😭"

The quote claiming Kim Kardashian asked if Michael B Jordan was single after his Oscar win is fake. The post that started the story was shared on social media and later deleted, and there is no verified source or evidence that Kardashian made this comment.

The supposed quote went viral but was unverified, and no credible news reports have confirmed it. The same post also falsely claimed a response from Jordan, whose X account has been inactive since July 2024. In reality, neither Jordan nor Kardashian made any such comments.

In addition to Jordan winning Best Actor, 'Sinners' took home four other Oscars, including Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Score. The film’s 16 total nominations set a record for the most in Oscar history.

Following his Best Actor win, Jordan will have a voice role in the Netflix film 'Swapped' and will star in and direct a remake of 'The Thomas Crown Affair'. He will also appear in a 'Miami Vice' remake directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) alongside Austin Butler.
