To the Diddler live, saying his university has no education. Damn! Damn! Like, you feel me? Yo, in my personal opinion, I think Tylil is a real a** n****. In my personal opinion. I don’t give a f**k! You feel me? He felt his bro was getting disrespected, he stood for the n****. You feel me?”Plaqueboymax also shared that Fanfan’s jokes were simply not working with the crowd.

Shoutout, Fanfan”, Plaqueboymax added. He ended his comments by once again praising Tylil’s loyalty to his friend.
