Although his fandom reacted in favor of him as a successful comedian, his position was to avoid confrontation, since “hate breeds hate.” This was his position on the controversy.

“Do not answer them, like that, because also the race that answers very violently and as I tell you […] hate breeds hate. I am trying to do comedy, if that generates hatred for some people, let it be their decision, but if I can ask this wonderful family, fandom, whatever you want to call it, do not start fighting with that race, “he said the humorist in reference to the sexist accusations of that piece of his comedy.
I was very amused that I was ‘fun’ by a Chris Rock joke, when in the video it says clearly
In addition to this, he also pointed out that this joke was not his own, but Chris Rock’s and discredited the criticism of him. “None of the accounts that were throwing shit at me had loads of followers […] It was always a range of 3 thousand and 10 thousand followers and they are accounts that are dedicated to that, let’s see who they are canceling today […] These are people who didn’t even see the video. I was very amused that I was ‘funned’ by a Chris Rock joke, when in the video it is clearly said, ‘Chris Rock had a joke that said…’ and I told it in translation”, added the comedian in his reaction.
