- Meme culture, via portmanteau nicknames, helped propel the rumor as an unnamed mutual friend pulled Emily Gordon aside, and fans raised gossip using names like 'Kubama' and 'Hobama'.
- Reacting with amusement, Nanjiani said `I was so excited!` about the rumor and that his wife Emily Gordon `wasn't even upset`, comparing it to past Obama–Aniston gossip.
- Now that the rumor has been laid to rest, Nanjiani joked about getting fan edits as a final bow, and the Independent reported he addressed the unfounded claims.
