“I want to address the issue so bad about this #BAPS record and VIDEO and it’s taking everything inside of me to remain quiet,” he wrote accompanying a photo of him sitting in a chair, looking at his phone. “This isn’t the first time @nickiminaj has pulled this stunt and trust me it’s cool. I can’t get over how fake people can be for a Lil fame , likes and followers. when everyone tried to warn me I still gave her the benefit of the doubt…I mostly feel sorry for the #barbs because they have no clue of the deceiver and manipulator their leader is.”
