PEOPLE RESPOND
Ricky looked like he was having fun, making a joke but Twitter is not having it. A tweet from @lastbwoy says: “That Riky Rick video is so triggering, people actually bullying you but fronting it as "grooming".” Another one from @thelifeofstanza: “We seriously shouldn't be laughing at what Riky Rick did, such humiliation often leads to suicide.” It seems the alleged victim is not at all a victim, he didn’t mind what seemed to be a humiliating situation. The boy, with the Twitter handle, @ruthlesscambu tweeted Riky, thanking him for his new sneakers. Other people on Twitter laughed it off too.
