He made a video speaking about how he is free to criticise the songs of others while others do it to him also. However, no one should be arrested for it.
The singer made an instance of if he complains about the activity of a church which disturbs him with noise pollution. In the process, the name of the church is shown online and it affects the number of people who attend the church, he said the church can sue him.
He noted that it was the way to go, not for the church to arrest him. His statement was related to the latest arrest of media personality, Martins Otse, aka Verydarkman (VDM).
According to him, arresting VDM was wrong instead of filing a lawsuit against him. He stated that he was not a fan of VDM but things must be done right.
