The Philadelphia native seemingly co-signed the Fanatics owner's message as he added, "Its like we only collab on songs women and parties… he be hearing my friends getting murdered like why meek, I can't explain it to him in a sensible way!"
Meanwhile, Michael recently issued an apology for his insensitive remark. "I got a phone call from one of the people I have the most respect for in the world - they told me while they appreciate my intention, it's not my place to speak on black culture," the 52-year-old said earlier that day. "I get it and really appreciate the input!"
"My intention was to say how important it is that we need to uplift each other, stop hate on each other, and push each other to win, and always root for each other's success!" he continued. "My bad , Much love and appreciate the feedback."

Again, if he was gay - which there's not one gay bone in his body - who cares, number one. If people wanna be gay, it is 2024. Who the f**k cares?"
"Number two, there's not a gay bone in his body, so why do people wanna lie about that?" he questioned. "Why do people want to change the narrative of a bet he made with me to hurt him?"
He added, "That is the one thing I've learned about, you know, look, I'm just being blunt because it's me." Blaming black culture, he concluded, "It's the one thing I've learned about black culture that I don't like is that black hate on hate [sic]."
