Slim Jesus has responded to the video of MB Jesus confronting him at A3C. He says to This Is 50 that the situation was not a big deal.
“If you look in that video, you see my cameraman pop out right from behind me, puts his arm between us and I walked off,” the Ohio rapper says. “There was nothing about to happen there. No talking about I need security. No, I got security don’t worry about it.”
Slim Jesus says that the negative attention he’s received has helped his career.
