By this time he had become quite popular by his online alias 'murderized', but became the target of bullying by other students. To make things worse, once when he told his fans to "squad up", his school principal thought it was a threat and called him to his office, which ended up him being suspended for a few days. However, some anonymous posts on his social media claimed that the reason behind his suspension was different.
