The duo talked about his quick success and the backlash from “The Office” star Rainn Wilson.
Wilson criticized the hit song for not focusing on the main issues and rather calling out “obese people on welfare”.

During his appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience“, Rogan defended Anthony from the criticism. Rogan said, “Nothing funnier than millionaires talking sh*t about billionaires”.
