Bills quickly responded to the critics online, saying that he understands that people online are trying to break his bond with his sister and at the end of the day, it was supposed to be a fun video between siblings.
“I wake up to everybody tagging me on the blogs and stuff,” Bills said. “Honestly, like, that’s my sister. I see y’all trying to break that bond and sh*t but y’all can’t break it. At the end of the day, my whole family dance like that. As you can see in the video, I wasn’t even looking at her on some sexy sh*t. I was kinda like, what the f*ck. You know what I’m sayin’? Like, it was supposed to be fun. It was a TikTok.”
Bills concluded his video by reiterating that it wasn’t as weird as social media made it out to be.
“I mean, yeah, what can I say,” Bills said. “We wasn’t doing no weird sh*t, you feel me?”
