In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Sowore responded to the heated discussions circulating online, particularly claims that VeryDarkMan was celebrating B-Lord’s arrest. He cautioned against deriving joy from the imprisonment of others, noting that such attitudes can contribute to the misuse of the justice system.
