I guess he called himself trying to call Tiny Desk out for being, I don't know, racist or discriminatory because they refused to offer him a Tiny Desk performance. And so he's been salty about that and he's like, y'all, they had the audacity to turn me down for a Tiny Desk performance. And so some people have been divided. He has fans and of course, people are triggered, especially in this political climate. On whether or not it was truly discriminatory, or were they actually kinda looking at their numbers to determine if he could bring the numbers back.

Da, da, da, and don't be Googling.
