He added that the message of the song has always been in movies and advised that musicians should not be boxed.

His tweet reads: ‘Logo Benz is for the 3rd party to have a glimpse into the current state of youths in our society. (Runs girls x runs boys) “ I’m not sure if there’s anything like 2 much awareness, but pardon me if there is. It’s all over the news, it’s always been in movies, don’t box musicians’.
