He also took to his Instagram account to address the backlash he’s been receiving. Y saying, “This video has been trending around the internet recently and I wanna clear the air on it. This entire video is scripted and the man you see in it is a friend and local of my community his name is Israel Pope. I asked him before hand if we could make this video and he agreed to be in it. I gave him some money and some food before we even started recording. The clip you are seeing shows me eating a sandwich and walking away but that’s not the full video. I buy another meal and come back to the spot and he left like we told him too. We then gave the other meal to another guy. “THIS WAS TAKEN EXTREMELY OUT OF CONTEXT AND I JUST WANT THE WORLD TO SEE THE FULL VIDEO.”
