In the video, 6ix9ine explains, "We got bro the jacket," as Perkioo appears to be uncomfortable. "You're OK; just keep your jacket on." Perkioo went to social media hours after the video went viral to claim that he was ambushed by 6ix9ine. He was there, according to the Durko impersonator, because he expected to partner with someone else. Perkioo claims he was compelled to meet up with 6ix9ine upon arrival, whom he chastised in the video below, telling him to "man up" and quit trying to just use his face for clout. “6ix9ine, you need to man up bro,” Perkioo said. “You need to man up… You can’t be doing that lame-ass shit. You’re using my face ‘cause I look like Durk. You’re using my face to disrespect [Durk’s] crew. That’s really lame.” Perkioo continued, “You’re using my face for clout. Everything you do is for clout. You can’t be doing that.”
DJ Akademiks later shared an alleged text exchange between 6ix9ine and DJ Akademiks in which the meeting was arranged. 6ix9ine took to the comments to express himself, he wrote: "Perkio backdoored OTF for 7 bands is crazyyyyyyy 🤣🤣.”
"Perkioo was completely set up by an individual named Mike who reached out to me after noticing we were shooting a music video to establish the connection between Perkioo and YouTuber vlogger named 'Steve Will Do It,'" said IzzyyDrake, a Drake impersonator who has been connecting with Perkioo on social media and has ties to the incident in question. Nobody expected [6ix9ine] rat to show up; they fooled him, and now they're attempting to hide their tracks. After Mike informed me that the video with Steve Will Do It wouldn't be until April 27, Perkins was supposed to be at the music shoot with me, but they played me to go and get his management contract and ordered him to pull up to the place on April 26." IzzyyDrake said: All the screenshots between myself and Mike leading up to the meetup with Steve Will Do It,"
"Brooooooo I just not seen this shit today on the internet this shit is crazy everybody calling and texting me we went #1 again thank y'all hahaha," the real Lil Durk said on Twitter, presumably addressing all that had happened.
