This happened because Nas Daily in one of their social media posts called the dispute between Israelis and Palestinians a conflict instead of oppression.
“If the conflict was as easy as 1+1 = 2, it would have been fixed in 1948. There is a reason this conflict has lasted for 70+ years. It’s complicated.” wrote Nas Daily in one of their social media posts resulting in outrage from followers all around the world.
He further added in the comment section “Man, what did people think Nas Daily was? I’m shocked people are shocked. My stance on this topic has been clear forever. I’ve made tens of videos on this topic. So this should come as no surprise.
I’ve been making peaceful videos for 5 years. And I will never be pulled into promoting hate towards anyone or anything. This is who we are. This is what I am. This is who you should be. People need to either get on the train or off of it. We have 38 million people on the train already, and we’re heading for the 100 million“
Consequently, people from all over the world who used to appreciate his charming one-minute videos do not agree with his stance on the notion. Therefore, after his recent statement of describing the torment as a conflict, he has suffered a tremendous loss of his followers.
