Donald Glover wants his haters to show some backbone.
“I see y’all talkin’ on me. And I said it already: @ me,” he tweeted Friday afternoon. “If it’s a true critique, I need dat receipt. Be brave wicha blue check. Looking forward to y’all being mad @ me next week.”
The post came just hours after the latest episode of Atlanta Season 3, which premiered last week after a nearly four-year hiatus. Though Glover kept his message vague, it was very similar to a tweet he shared back in January, as he anticipated criticism of Atlanta’s third season.
“Please @ me this year if u talk shit on me,” he wrote.
