“I really live for how they’re minding their own business fr,” one person said. “Mfs don’t have a single clue who they in the subway with,” said another. “Crying cause they don’t know who tf you are.” There are a lot of these.

“Feel a nas cancellation brewing,” someone else said. Maybe because he used a Japanese flag? Seems like everyone is always in cancel-ready mode. Others just love Hill, as there are an abundance of “he so fine” comments from a lot of people as well.

Hill even made some TikToks of the whole Japan trip, providing the rest of us with a more comprehensive look at the whole situation. Here he is showing off the whole outfit:
