How Jared McCain responded to the critics
Duke’s basketball star started painting his nails during the COVID-19 quarantine period. In a recent fixture, the 20-year-old was seen playing with white and blue-painted nails. McCain painted his right-hand nails white and his left blue.
Seeing the player with painted nails, netizens criticized him a lot. In response, McCain said in a video that he was in the middle of painting his nails. He added, “I thought I’d just talk to you guys a little bit about why I’m going to do Blue as usual. Just do some self-care time, I think everybody should do some self-care for themselves.”
McCain also added, “For me, it’s nail painting. Sorry if that offends any of you guys.” He also disclosed that his favorite nail polish is Sally Hansen because it dries immediately, in just 60 seconds. The Duke’s star stated that there is no real reason for painting his nails; it helps him not to bite his nails.
McCain also admitted that he just wants to be himself and thinks it looks nice. He also stated one key reason why he should keep painting his nails: “I had a game after I painted my nails, and I ended up playing really well.” Therefore, he will keep painting his nails, and at the end of the video clip, he shows how his nails look after painting.

In a video, the quarterback shows his clear nails and says, “Nails are clear. Lips, lips are pink, your girl love em.” Williams fans were really happy with the way he hit back at the critics, and by taking his side, they also took a dig at them. However, after the video went viral, the critics began criticizing him for his harshness by keeping the painted nails topic aside.
