It’s an email scam as old as the Nigerian prince asking for money: someone claiming they hacked your webcam and have recorded you in an act of self-pleasure. Unless you pay up, the video will be sent to friends and family. The whole thing’s a lie, of course, but a new type of malware has made this form of sextortion a reality.

I cannot belive J Roc flipped that positive. He really is the people’s champ.
I think it’s his most honest and raw piece.

Yeah, he owned it and made it work. I agree it’s one of, if not the most, honest of all his songs in the show.
Plus the people in the pærk are like family so it’s all water under the fridge.

If you’re a candidate for some election, sometime this kind of stupid thing is enough to make you lose credibility and lose an election.

What about the microphone?
blurb@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
I don’t think one would be recognizable over the microphone while masturbating tbh.
