I am always happy to meet fans and friends when the time permits; shoving your way to me at a public event, passing my security and disrespecting my manager, you yet got close to me and politely greet you. Don't expect strangers to touch you, you got a friendly fist bump but event that's not enough? And if you were truly embarrassed, what is the need for this clout-chasing video? Sly and shameless."
