Michael Jordan's mom isn't a fan of his cigar smoking.

"The Last Dance" director Jason Heir revealed Sunday on the "Jalen & Jacoby Aftershow" that Jordan's mother, Deloris Jordan, got upset with him for smoking on set, which is why the Hall of Famer's cigar disappeared after his first interview for the documentary series.

"He couldn’t have a cigar on set because his mom got mad at him," Hehir told the "Jalen & Jacoby Aftershow" following Sunday's episodes. "And he said, 'I can't have a cigar today because my mom got mad at me because she saw me smoking a cigar.'"

Jordan admitted to smoking six cigars per day in a 2017 interview with Cigar Aficionado magazine.
