A black chef (Waymo) who has apparently been 'saved by cooking' after a string of colourist (and hateful) views towards black women is feeling the consequences after being exposed online.
Who Is Chef Way (AKA WaymoTheGod)?
Chef Way is a popular black chef who was exposed on social media for being colourist after a slew of distasteful tweets came to light by several users. The chef, who once managed the Twitter handle @WaymoTheGod, didn't deny the claims and issued multiple apologies "to alleviate that pain" he once caused.
"To those I've hurt with my past tweets that have resurfaced, I am deeply sorry. That was a moment in my life where I was sick in more ways than one," he said. Continuning: "Cooking saved me. You have watched a flawed man heal. I will continue to heal and learn. Thanks for being along for the journey."

Way Mo Problems for Chef Waymo!
Falling on deaf ears, Chef Way's attempts at sorry wasn't necessarily bought as an abundance of users began to learn of what he actually said with images (like a screenshot, in which, he compared them to trash) entailing discouraging insults towards women of colour, as well as a tweet about the deceased African-American woman, Sandra Bland.
"if black lives mattered to Sandra Bland she wouldn't have taken her own life. i'm serious too," he believed.
In the midst of "rebranding" (something he considers to be an effort of change by entertaining masses with food of a black origin), Twitter users began reporting that Chef Way wasn't sorry for his actions as a countless amount of TikTok accounts were blocked (and in some cases reported) for sharing their upset.
Chef Way has 251k followers on TikTok, 41.8k on Instagram, and 2.5k on Twitter.
