Things calmed down, however Consequence stated issues acquired actual when Che got here again to proceed arguing and he criticized the documentary for leaving out a second confrontation.

“When he got here again beefing, I informed that n####, ‘look, n####, either you back the f### up, or we could go outside.’ He selected to again the f### up. I gathered everyone collectively, I stated ‘we leaving’ and we left. You can ask Kim Kardashian, you’ll be able to ask Michael Che, and you may ask Nico, the director.
