Rapper Sleepy Addresses 'Porsche Controversy' on YouTube Show

Rapper Sleepy has spoken out about the 'Porsche controversy.'

On the 11th, the YouTube channel 'DinDin is DinDin' released a video titled '[Emergency Programming] DinDin Repays a Favor.' The video featured DinDin, Sleepy, and a game company CEO who reminisced about their challenging past together.

DinDin revealed that his first meeting with Sleepy was not pleasant. He said, "The first impression was really bad. Even though he knew me, he asked, 'Who are you?'" However, after seeing DinDin with beautiful women at a drinking party, Sleepy suddenly changed his attitude, calling DinDin "my brother," which led to their friendship.

The highlight of the video was Sleepy's 'Porsche incident.' DinDin explained, "The CEO lent Sleepy a Porsche," adding, "People thought it was a nice car, but in reality, it was a 20-year-old car with frequent engine issues."

Sleepy, who wasn't receiving proper payments, shared, "I went to buy a rice cooker in the Porsche and got heavily criticized. Even when I said a friend lent it to me, no one believed it," he said with a bitter smile. The CEO who lent the car added, "It was really painful back then. Many people didn't know the situation."

DinDin also brought up Sleepy's 'celebrity syndrome' phase. He reenacted, "After 'Real Men,' Sleepy changed suddenly. He would enter a BBQ restaurant and introduce himself as 'Slezombie,'" causing laughter. DinDin continued, "He was so over the top that day, I thought, 'I can't hang out with him anymore,'" to which Sleepy responded with laughter, "I remember that."

However, over time, their relationship deepened. DinDin emphasized, "Now, we're like family," adding, "The people who endured tough times together are more precious."
