Friends of Na’im Lynn shouldn’t expect any holiday cheer from the comedian … he doesn’t believe in gifting pals with presents or cards — except for one A-list exception.
We caught up with the funny man at LAX, where the stand-up star explained his reasoning behind skipping gift exchanges with friends during the holiday season. As he put it … he “never” buys holiday presents for his friends, declaring it’s weird to give pals gifts for any reason.
He added … “If you do buy a gift, you definitely can’t give a card. First of all, there’s no cards made for best friends. You’ve never seen that in the card section. You see mother, father, child, grandmother, secretary, love — never for homies.”
Na’im made it clear that he doesn’t want Hallmark to try and make it a thing, either … he called the idea of a friend card “inappropriate.”
Na’im advised his male peers to show their love in other ways … whether that be picking up the tab here and there or through quality time.
However, NL did say there was one instance where a friend gift wouldn’t be “awkward” … and that’s when the present isn’t expected or asked for, and maybe you ask to be paid back, or not.
Na’im clarified he doesn’t always follow his own rule, however … as he confessed to getting best friend Kevin Hart a gift in the past.
Per Na’im, it was a “different” scenario since he gave KH a present when they wrapped up a tour together. He couldn’t not show his appreciation after all!!!
Looks like Kevin is the one exception to Na’im’s golden rule … and we’re sure the movie star’s OK with that.
