Simu Liu criticizes Canadian boba tea company over concerns of cultural appropriation

Actor Simu Liu blasted a pair of Quebec entrepreneurs last week who went on Canada’s version of “Shark Tank” to pitch a drink they say has “transformed” boba tea. Sébastien Fiset and Jess Frenette, founders of a bottled popping boba and alcoholic bubble tea brand called Bobba, were seeking $1 million in exchange for 18% of the company.

” The entrepreneurs went on to describe bubble tea as “that trendy, sugary drink you are queuing up for and you are never quite sure about its content” and said “those days are over with Bobba” — prompting Liu to again interrupt: “Hang on, hang on, I’m quite sure about its content. But continue.” Liu's comments about cultural appropriation spurred some disagreement and laughter from his fellow Dragons, some of whom called him out for starting the segment on a “heavy” note.
