Keith Murray Responds To Concerning Video That Recently Surfaced

The New Jersey rapper says critics should focus on his BET Awards performance.

Keith Murray is explaining an unsettling video that went viral early last month.

During an interview with the MReckNRip Show, the Def Squad member responded to the video, which many believe showed him on drugs and acting erratically and surfaced just prior to his 2023 BET Awards appearance.

“Somebody got some footage of me, and they tried to assassinate my character,” he told the show. “But at the same time, they should’ve played it after BET – made it seem like it was current or something because BET was spectacular. I’m getting a lot of positive feedback.”

He continued: “It was before. Some footage that some people that I don’t know got old footage and tried to bring it out, but God is on my side and I don’t really talk about negativity. Why didn’t they post my BET performance? Whoever those people were. Why didn’t Lord Jamar talk about how gracefully I rocked the stage?”

“Black people always try to bring Black people down when they doing good,” Murray concluded. “The devil always come and try to tear you down when God got a blessing for you. So, I ask Lord Jamar and whoever that other person was, to highlight my show at the BET Awards. It went worldwide.”

Additionally, Murray noted he would bring legal action against anyone looking to make money off of his image.
