Derek Lunsford just crowned himself the owner of the Mr. Olympia position. 🤔
Derek says he doesn’t want someone to take over the title who ends up being a “dud” and let’s be honest, that sounds like a shot at Samson Dauda, Andrew Jacked, and Hadi Choopan.
Do I agree with it? No!
Do I love the trash talk? Absolutely. 🍿🔥
This is exactly what the Open division needs. Rivalries. Confidence. Ego. Controversy.
Right now, Derek is controlling the social media narrative while Samson, Hadi, and Andrew remain silent. Every day they don’t respond, Derek gains another inch in the mental game.
Does Derek really “own” the position of Mr. Olympia?
Or is he getting ahead of himself?
And should he stop using the “I’ve been competing for 10 years” argument to justify it?
