This is sad. https:\/\/t.co\/qTepbzX8Xe \u2014 Dedee \ud83e\udd40 (@thoughtfulbae) May 17, 2022 Bishop responded to the flood of comments on the YouTube video, saying, \u201cIt\u2019s just art. Wait until I explain all of this. I love y\u2019all and hope y\u2019all are safe.\u201d Since promising to explain the video, Nehru hasn\u2019t posted on social media. Social media users pointed out that it\u2019s likely the rapper didn\u2019t actually inject the drugs into his arm, as the needle appears to miss his arm in the video. Despite that, many shared their concern that the message of the video could be harmful to his younger audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
