UPDATE: 3:38 p.m. PST: Nick retaliated on the d**k-sucking charges in a long Instagram post on Wednesday. He didn't outright deny the remarks, but said he found it "f**king funny" before realizing that Orlando's videos were really "a cry out for assistance."
“When I first saw this I thought it was f**king hilarious!!!!… But then after putting a little cognitive effort and analytical thought to the situation,I figured what a great opportunity for a “teachable moment”! First and foremost, let me say that although I don't know him personally, I am still praying for the young brother Orlando. I have always adored and adored his talent and have been a fan of his work. In Major Payne, he was brilliant, and we had us all laughing on "Thats So Raven." But this is just another example of how our young artists are being uncovered by this demonic industry and left out to fend for themselves. We need better support for our children and adults who can take care of our own. I watched several of this young brothers videos, and all I see is a cry for assistance. I don't know if there are any genuine leaders or good people in this young man's life, so let's embrace him and tighten him up so he doesn't become another lost celebrity to these hollywood situations. I certainly agree this brother has the God-given ability to be on Wildnout, but this certainly isn't the way to audition; it hurts my heart to see that these companies have allowed Orlando, along with several other young gifted artists we adored, to simply dwindle away after these companies earned billions off of them. Our loved ones are now eagerly begging for the attention they once received rather than the assistance they actually need, owing to drug use and diagnosed psychiatric disorders. And while we sit back and enjoy... our media, specifically the "culturally aware," is the most irresponsible parties in all of this. To get these white supremacy propagated platforms more money, we have to continue to post slander and tear one down for click bait. These cannibalistic tactics only destroy "Us." Really, in post like this, who wins???We might chuckle, joke, pass the gossip on through our low frequency vibrations but does it truly make you feel good??? You may be concerned that there are higher powers watching you from above. So I hold @iheartradio @complex @worldstar accountable!…”
