Instagram influencer, Chazy Nash, recently received tons of backlash after posting a video of him wearing a fake pink Covid-19 bracelet while eating out in a restaurant.Ā His act attracted the customers’ attention which then led to a minor conflict between him and a patron at the restaurant.

However, netizens had a different reaction to his video. Many have shared their thoughts online regarding Chazy’s video and most were not amused by his act.
“Takedown this video, it is not appropriate to make a joke out sensitive issues like this. People are struggling to hard to break the chain.”
“I feel that issues like this shouldn’t be a joke, it’s not that there’s no sense of humour but we all have a common sense right?”
Many have perceived of the video to be a prank but turns out it was just a skit. Chazy has since posted an apology on his Instagram and stated that the restaurant was a set and the customers who participated in his video were all actors. His intentions were not to ridicule any party as it was meant to be a fun video.
However, most netizens felt like acts like this shouldn’t be glorified as it showed the lack of respect one has on the frontliners who have been fighting to combat the spread of Covid-19.
