Yup.
This week, the 30-year-old found himself defending his bizarre Jamaican accent after joining Clubhouse*.

*Clubhouse is a relatively new audio app that is currently invite only and allows members to join chatrooms and converse with one another.
Chet reportedly compared his use of a Jamaican accent to using an English accent after watching “a bunch of English gangster movies,” which did not go over well:
Some users felt he was mocking the accent instead of showing true appreciation for patois:
Others found it odd that he didn’t use his Jamaican accent while defending his right to use it:
In the end, Chet apparently conceded that he wouldn’t use Jamaican patois going forward:
I guess we won’t know until his next Instagram video. Or Clubhouse visit ¯_(ツ)_/¯.
