Seth Rogen has no time for detractors of the Black Lives Matter movement.

The “Pineapple Express” funnyman took to Instagram Monday with a sign that reads, “Black Lives Matter,” and captioned the post: “If this is a remotely controversial statement to you, feel free to unfollow me.”

The 38-year-old “Sausage Party” star’s comments followed the police killing last week of George Floyd, a 46-year-old unarmed black man who was killed in Minneapolis by a white officer who knelt on his neck until he stopped breathing.

Rogen stayed true to his word and took commenters to task.

“F–k off. You don’t deserve my movies anymore. Stop watching my s–t,” Rogen told one proponent of #AllLivesMatter, who slammed people looting amid protests and insisted, “People making this only about blacks. When its [sic] about all races of color? Why do all these brutality videos only show the end? They don’t show wtf these people were doing to get in trouble in the first place.”

“All lives matter. Because all life is precious. No life is more important than another,” wrote another user, to which the Canadian actor responded, “Shut the f–k up.”

“So do white lives though buddy,” one commenter said, eliciting another chorus of Rogen’s “F–k off.”

To one “ALL LIVES MATTER!!!!” proponent, Rogen said, “F–k you and both your parents.”

Floyd’s death — along with those of Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor — prompted nationwide protests and a wholehearted resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Rogen is far from the only celebrity to speak out.

On Friday, Rogen’s “Lion King” co-star Beyonce’ also took to Instagram, calling for “justice for George Floyd.”

“If you’re white, black, brown or anything in between, I’m sure you feel hopeless by the racism going on in America right now,” the songstress said. “No more senseless killings of human beings. No more seeing people of color as less than human. We can no longer look away.”
