Funny Marco has decided to look on the bright side of life, preferring to take the humorous approach to his recent viral interview with G Herbo and Southside.
The comedian and YouTuber addressed the controversy in a new stand-up show he did on Friday (December 1). There, he revealed that the rappers’ teams were at first encouraging him to put out the controversial interview.
“Okay, Mr. Herbo. The shit go viral. Y’all seen it,” he said.
That virality, he says, made Herbo change his tune.
Marco continued: “Team then calls. ‘Take this shit down! Take this shit down!’”
Funny Marco then revealed that he refused to acquiesce to their demands. Check out a clip from the show below.

Southside joined Funny Marco’s Open Thoughts on October 16, but Marco has since claimed things were a lot more contentious than the final product showed, alleging that he was called a “bitch” multiple times and that the pair broke his $30,000 watch.
At one point G Herbo even threw his cup at Funny Marco, but claimed he meant no harm or disrespect. “@funnymarco REALLY MY FRATERNAL TWIN NOBODY KNOW,” Herbo wrote.
Southside hopped on social media to clear the air about being painted as the bad guy in the exchange.
“If you a bitch-ass n-gga just stay the fuck from around me. I got enough bitches,” he said. “I don’t need more bitches around me… Just leave me the fuck alone. I don’t gotta be nobody’s friend. I’m rich, young, successful, I’m not a rapper. I’m a producer, I don’t have to do fucking interviews.

“For a n-gga to get on there saying he’s scared, you a hoe. You ain’t have to put it out hoe-ass n-gga. Now I really want to press you because you a bitch. You a grown man… Herb wasn’t even doing nothing to that man. That’s how them folks play. It’s cool for a n-gga to get on there and say slick shit to a n-gga.”
He continued: “I fuck with Marco. Marco is still my n-gga. I don’t think he was uncomfortable. I think bro was all the way good. If he was uncomfortable it’s like alright, damn Marco, we didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.”
Southside went on to claim that the watch in question was fake, but he’s willing to replace it with a real one and a chain.
“He mad about his watch. Marco, I got a watch you can come get… And it’s real because that shit I threw wasn’t real… That shit was fake as fuck… It’s nothing, I’ll give you a real new watch. My kids wear them shits like they ain’t nothing… You want a watch and a chain? We’ll give you a watch and a chain. We got you.”
