THEN DON'T WRITE A RAP FOR THE YOUTH OF AMERICA AND TELL YOUR CO-WORKERS ABOUT IT?

It seemed like he actually wanted to and that he said yes. So the story is a little iffy from his side.

Yes, I'm aware that this might just be a self-aggrandizing piece, or it might be a legitimate issue. However, none of us were there, so I'm hesitant to pass too much judgement on this nuanced matter.

I was just super hesitant here because we didn't know the complete story and everyone else seemed to be piling on the author.
