You can\u2019t just call out a man and not have paperwork to back up your talks. It\u2019s ludicrous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tHe added that he couldn\u2019t believe how big the song had gotten. \u201cAnd then to see a whole nation behind it and celebrating it like it\u2019s a true story is unbelievable,\u201d he said. \u201cEverybody has to understand: I have a kid, Drake has a kid, so, like, making accusations like that are ridiculous and out of this world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tHe then revealed that he didn\u2019t respond because Drake talked him out of it and asked him to ignore it. \u201cI was building up a lot of anger but then I got a call,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd [Drake\u2019s] like, \u2018Yo, I know what you\u2019re feeling, I know you as an individual, I know how you get down but I\u2019m just letting you know, don\u2019t listen to the noise \u2019cause it\u2019s noise.\u2019 If you go back and look at all these people that are saying things, they\u2019re not even real people, they\u2019re bots. Don\u2019t let that s\u2014t bother you, bro. And you know what? I mean, it\u2019s not a good thing but they\u2019re calling your name.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tBaka then asked fans to do their due diligence and look up the case Lamar was referring to because he felt like he was being accused of pedophilia. \u201cAnd at the end of the day, they\u2019re gonna get over this crap because they\u2019re gonna realize that it\u2019s crap, and then they\u2019re gonna do their own research,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd when you do you\u2019re own research, you\u2019re gonna be like, \u2018Wow, this guy made up a whole story about something that isn\u2019t even true.\u2019 It makes you look weird to me. I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tHe finally concluded his answer with a message to fans. \u201cI wanna say one thing to America,\u201d he began. Y\u2019all need to get yourself together because, yo, making serious accusations like that, you need to have paperwork.
