Kamaal Rashid Khan, however, felt that the decision taken by YouTube was ‘perfect’. He felt abusing was not the right way to gain popularity.
So finally @YouTubeIndia has deleted the #carryminatitiktokroast video n it’s 100% perfect decision. #YoutubeIndia should delete all such videos, which are having abuses to teach lesson to those who want to become famous by abusing only. Roast if you have talent, not only abuses.

Hey people please note @CarryMinati roasted me also. But He asked me before to make the video. And if someone else will also roast me with my permission then no problem at all. I hate those ppl who roast without permission. So then I make them upload sorry video also.
