The Instagram account Fake Watch Buster clarified that it's not here to target or attack people who wear the false products.

An Instagram account dubbed FakeWatchBuster recently called out YK Osiris for wearing a fake Richard Millie watch. Moreover, the specific model YK showed off on an Instagram story is a RM50-03 McLaren F1 Tourbillon. According to the Instagram page, there are only 75 genuine models of said watch, which brings their price point to over $1 million. However, the page also clarified, whether in this post or others, that they only care about the watches. Furthermore, they don't intend to target the people wearing these fake pieces or instigate personal attacks on them. After all, maybe Osiris himself has no knowledge of his time reader's falsehood, and might even appreciate a heads-up.

Moreover, the Jacksonville native in particular doesn't deserve the negativity sometimes thrown at him online. Last October, he concerned fans due to an Instagram live session where he expressed unhappiness with his current situation. “You can’t use Drake with me, you can’t use Lil Baby, ’cause they don’t f**k with me no more,” he expressed. “So please don’t use that. You haven’t seen me around Drake in a minute or Lil Baby. Long time. So lets get that out the door. Please don’t use that no more.

“I can’t even see my kids,” the 24-year-old continued. “People look at me as a clown. I’m a talented person. But that doesn’t matter because I don’t drop my music. I don’t do s**t, I haven’t even performed in f***ing two years, n***a. I get why they don’t f**k with me. But, I don’t know. If I killed myself right now, if I go right now, how would y’all feel? Nobody ain’t gon’ give a f**k…I’ma tell you what people gon’ say if I die right now…If I killed myself right now, they gon’ say, ‘Good, he don’t have to pay no more debts no more.’

"They gone make gimmicks," he concluded frustratedly. "‘I don’t have to pay Drake anymore,’ they gon’ say that bulls**t. ‘I don’t have to pay Lil Baby no more,’ they gon’ say that bulls**t…They gon’ say the dumbest s**t ever, the funniest s**t ever.” Since then, people like Big Sean reached out to support YK and encourage him to keep striving for personal happiness.

“Saying this outta love bro!" the Detroit rapper wrote. "Love yourself first so you dont need everyone or anyone else’s love to function or to feel good. When you your own source of happiness n love then any love you get is just extra on top (which is beautiful) and any love you dont get, you’re still you and un affected, or at least not as affected by conditional circumstances or how others feel about you. Just leaving that here for others as well."

However, after many fans and social media users poured out their support and appreciation, Osiris updated them with gratitude. “I was very down and very emotional, and I was drained but y’all help me a lot,” he shared. “Knowing that you don’t have friends in the industry and things like that, but you do have people out there that really love you. That really wanna see you win, and I realized that yesterday and today.” Regardless of what watch he wears, it was great to see him motivated, and hopefully that positivity's carried forward. As always, check back in with HNHH for the latest on YK Osiris.
