13% is a slang used to refer to the African American population in a disparaging manner. It is derived from an FBI statistic in 2015 claiming that 51.1% of people arrested for homicide were African American; even though African American people account only for 13.4% of the total United States population.

Fans called out Strowman for being racist. Many wished for him to become a jobber in the WWE. Some even wished for worse things to happen to him.

There were some however, who tried to explain that Strowman was merely talking about body fat percentage.

Strowman himself has not responded on the issue so far.
