When Washington, alongside the director and frequent collaborator, Spike Lee, was invited, in a video interview with New complexes If he was concerned about “being” canceled “,” he replied with his own question: “What does that mean-to be canceled?”
When the interviewer, Jillian Hardeman-Webb, said: “It means you lose public support”, Washington said: “Who cares?”
He added: “What made public support so important to start?”
Hardeman-Webb replied: “The subscribers are now currency”, which led Washington to explain what is important to him.
“I don’t care whoever follows who,” he said. “You cannot direct and follow at the same time, and you cannot follow and direct at the same time. I am no one. I am a celestial spirit. I am God, I am not man. I have faith in God. I have hope in man, but I look around, it does not work so well.”
He added: “You cannot be canceled if you have not registered. Do not register. Do not get started. My trunk has started to hurt. You know, the chest is tightened from it.”
