He followed up the post, adding: "I messaged him and called him a dick. I feel better now haha".

JayzTwoCents replied to someone saying that the problem isn't with scalpers, but with scarcity and demand, to which the YouTuber responded: "I asked everyone who I signed 'are you keeping it or selling it' they all said keeping... so this guys a filthy liar".
