This week, Larenz Tate and his brothers really set the place ablaze in Detroit, turning up for the Liv Golf tournament and doing a big connect with the city. Tate escaped once again, moving through the cast of “Love Jones” and “Power,” recording a casual video right from the car get Lola-ized through the “What Up Doe” Detroit greeting of sorts while pitching the “Tate Bros Chronicles” brand. It sent the Motor City into twos-and-fours variant tons of positive responses, reinforcing the deep love of the city for these visiting celebrities.

Car-window vibes give an instant glimpse of life; the whole thing is about cruising through the streets of city life. Larenz Tate’s energy is infectious as he builds up the excitement for their golf outing: it was solid proof that any ride in the car is bound to be an event with a Tate brother. Fumbling the perfect engagement opportunity, the post never really came off as a pitch for a show but felt more like a sincere check-in from a friend in town.
The Detroitites threw out the welcome mat right away. Comments took over like anarchy, almost marching in sync with the “What Up Doe!” greeting of Tate and bursting out loud with born and bred pride. An acre user joined this land in the sound of: “Welcome to our city,” with coiled-up enthusiastic emojis; countless others echoed this sentiment in various forms. Another one touched, “The D my city! What up doe,” mixing the pride of the city with a personal greeting.
They weren’t just happy to see Larenz; they were ecstatic to see the whole gang! Someone added a comic touch, “You even got your big headed brother in the back seat! I love him too. What up doe!” That comment means the Tate family themselves are also an attraction; their closeness is part of the pull. Another fan went on to say, “I absolutely love the closeness that you guys have. You’re All young gifted and Black..Blessings upon each of you.” This goes beyond mere fandom, recognizing their connection as something truly positive, maybe even inspirational.
Comments started to flirt just a little; however, the undertone is always respectful. One commentator boldly tapped, “Make a detour to my house,” followed by loads of laughing emojis. Another voice muted his praise: “Mmm mmm mm smh he’s a married man. So I’m gonna be respectful. Just know the man is being a healed Virgo everyday.” This comment is a crazy conglomeration of appreciation, honoring his real-time marital status, and even proceeds to include his astrological personality; that is how engaged these fans are with their celebrities.
The thrill was mixed with a little bit of FOMO: Fear Of Missing Out. “You were here and didn’t tell me!? I’m so hurt I missed you,” lamented one user, whose playful sorrow was punctuated by laughing-crying emojis. An excited fan was scheming for an actual opportunity to see them: “Awwww shittttt!!! Not yall in the D!!! Lawwdddddd, if I see yall get ready to pose for like 20 pics!!!” These responses demonstrate how a mere celebrity visit installs spirits on a real-time map and builds core memories as well as inside jokes for a seriously lucky group of fans.
A little concern toward the finish whereas the great vibe was cultivated makes for an incredible relationship shared by the star and his people. A fan appeared and said, “Y’all get around be safe out there” with hearts and kisses emoji. Another noticed the roadway: “I can tell they driving on 96 🧐 be safe ❤️😂.” This is hilariously small and yet, that precise spotting of a local infrastructure seems to really ground this interaction.
Visually, the event, the Liv Golf, set the stage for the unfolding drama. Liv Golf has been promising the changing of the guard of professional golf, and then a guy like Larenz Tate tries to attach himself and prove this promise with style while bringing new energy and a new breed of crowd to the sport. In some strange way, especially with this year about finishing in Detroit, the presence of Tate somehow awkwardly bridges the entertainment space with sporting and local culture to cleave a unique memory much bigger than a mere tournament. It is an engagement of sorts from tangible communities, and Detroit really went all out with its own engagement there.

Ultimately, the Detroit response to Larenz Tate’s post was more of a reminder of his perennial goodwill and how in tune Tate is with connecting to people on a very human level. Tate didn’t just show up; he used local dialect, paid homage to the city, built the moment with his two brothers; in return, Detroit gave him and the family an uproarious welcome fit for a hometown hero. It was pure and positive interaction-the perfect example of a meaningful way celebrities and communities can work together. It’s definitely a win for Tate Bros Chronicles in Detroit!
