As if it wasn't obvious enough in the moment that it was a genuine PPP freakout, Jesse did a stream days after, taking sly jabs at him the whole time and using the lie for his own content. He ended the stream showing faked DMs of PPP giving Jesse credit for all of his success in a way he would absolutely never do, knowing that PPP was in a bind and couldn't call him out on it. He couldn't challenge Jesse and risk him openly shooting down PPP's bullshit coverup, and so he had to just sit there and stew, knowing some of the stupidest KC fans would believe the DMs were real.
