Friends of Naim Lynn shouldn’t expect any party spirit from the comedian… he doesn’t believe in giving gifts or cards to friends, with one exception on the A-list.
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 holidays. As he put it…he “never” buys holiday gifts for his friends, stating that it’s weird to give his friends gifts for any reason.
He added… “If you buy a gift, you certainly can’t give a card. First of all, there are 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 to make it a thing either… he called the idea of a friend card “inappropriate.”
Na’im advised his male colleagues to show their love in other ways… whether it be by paying the bill here and there or spending quality time.
However, NL said there was one instance where a gift for a friend wouldn’t be “awkward”… and that’s when the gift isn’t expected or requested, and you might ask for a refund, or you might not.
However, Na’im clarified that he doesn’t always follow his own rule… as he confessed that he gained a best friend Kevin Hart a gift from the past.
According to Na’im, it was a “different” scenario since he gave KH a gift when they finished a tour together. He couldn’t not show his appreciation!!!
It looks like Kevin is the one exception to Na’im’s golden rule… and we’re sure the movie star is okay with that.
