The American YouTuber stated he was “as taken back as a lot of you guys” after hearing the claims made about Dr Disrespect’s ban. However, he went on to warn that “the fact remains that these are some crazy accusations.”
NICKMERCS said, “Until we know more, until we know them as fact, until they’ve been proven with evidence, what are we talking about? What’s anybody talking about?”
“As far as the ‘leave little kids alone’ stuff, this doesn’t make it any further from the truth,” he continued. The YouTuber concluded his video by warning, “Leave little children out of your s***.”
“So far, you’re right. Wait until more comes out ’cause so far I see them as just accusations but it can either be true or false but we don’t have enough information to go on with,”one viewer agreedwith NICKMERCS’ take.
Others were less sympathetic to the YouTuber’s response,claiming he was protecting the Docas the pair were friends: “It’s always ‘we gotta protect the kids’ ’till it’s the homies f***ing the kids.”
