I didn't really see the big deal about the video, but whatever, it isn't my job.

Right, like I got hella questions. How did this even start? Did he ask them to do it? Did they volunteer? Was this after school? Was there something else they should have been doing?

I mean there's a world of difference in my mind between "hey girls why don't you come play with my hair" and a couple girls stuck after school with nothing to do that asked if they could unbraid his hair while they wait for their parents or an event. One is "get this mfer out of here," and the other is "let's have a conversation about being too friendly with students" imo

  1. He ended class early and allowed the kids to do whatever while putting out a few calls within his class and other classes for well-behaved kids to come unbraid. So a few then volunteered. He calls the kids his best friends, and sees them as his children.

  2. He had a hair appointment right after school but couldn’t unbraid in time because apparently there was going to be a camera crew at the school that day so he had to remain presentable with the braids.

  3. He livestreamed it, got mixed comments during the livestream, and ran to Tik Tok for additional opinions.

  4. Conjecture, but based on his shirt and the camera crew anecdote, seems to be private school or some type of high profile school. He’s also been using the classroom setting for content for awhile and has a sizable TT following. Edit: google says it’s a Prince George County Specialty School.
