In the video, White can be heard saying, “FedEx. We’ll get your shit there, but we’ll f—k it up,” and adding, “My boy don’t give a f—k.” The video quickly went viral, prompting a response from FedEx.

“The behavior depicted in the video is unacceptable and inconsistent with the professionalism FedEx demonstrates every day,” FedEx told TMZ. “We are committed to treating our customers’ packages with the utmost care, and this driver is no longer providing service for our company as a result of this behavior.”
The incident has sparked a debate on social media, with some users suggesting that White “snitched” on the driver while others believe that the driver’s actions were unacceptable and warranted termination. Given White’s overall demeanor in the video, it’s unlikely that he intended to get the driver fired and it remains to be seen if he will intervene to help the former FedEx employee.
