Many followers believe Dr. Umar Johnson is calling out popular YouTuber Kevin Samuel after he made a number of remarks on Instagram.

On Instagram Live, Dr. Umar talked about building up Black women while speaking out against YouTube "life coaches." He accused some of regurgitating his talking points despite publicly speaking out against him. When speaking about the life coaches, he said he's counted "12 different YouTubian, beta male, wannabe life coaches that are out there slandering Black women, attacking Black women, degrading Black women."

"I count about a dozen, I'ma call them the Dirty Dozen of Division. The Triple D, the Dirty Dozen of Division," Dr. Umar said in the above clip. "There's about 12 members of the Dirty Dozen of Division. Twelve beta males, YouTube life coaches, who are trying to build a platform by making Black women feel bad. I don't like it."

Dr. Umar didn't mention Kevin Samuels or anyone else, but many viewers typed Kevin Samuels' name as he made his statements. He continued by criticizing the "Dirty Dozen of Division" for profiting off of "making Black women feel bad." He also took issue with the Black women who participate in the episodes.

"I can't appreciate Black men trying to make a dollar off of making Black women feel bad and, unfortunately, our Black women -- some of them are so thirsty for validation that they're participating!" he said. "They're participating in the attacks and slander against the Black female community and that's not acceptable."

In a separate Instagram post, Dr. Umar doubled down on his remarks and wrote, "There is a growing beta male YouTubian community that is creating a sector dedicated to slandering & criticizing Black women who don't emulate Eurocentric standards of beauty & success. Unfortunately, many sisters have become prey for these c**ns due to an unconscious need for male validation. Black women, you don't need a man to validate your worth."
