“It was ALL a LIE!!” - TikToker, Duane Cali, says he didn't have Monkeypox, but was only trying to promote his song

Do you remember the viral man we shared earlier this month who claimed to have monkeypox and a craving for McDonald’s? 

Well, he is now revealing that his viral video was just a prank and a way to promote his music.

The Los Angeles man, who goes by the name of Duane Cali, uploaded a new video on his TikTok making the big announcement! Duane claims the viral prank was just marketing gone wrong!

Duane admits that he is used to going above and beyond and doing things unconventionally when it comes to promoting and marketing his music. However, in this case he says his methods “didn’t translate well and people just ended up getting mad at me.”
