Of course, as any idol knows, there will always be negative comments amidst the praise from fans. In particular, one comment stood out to fans as it read, “NEPO BABYYY,” which is a phrase used for stars with celebrity parents, and it is sometimes assumed they used the connections to build a career in that industry.
Rather than ignoring it, Anton made fans LOL when he simply replied with “born this way by lady gaga” referring to the song by Lady Gaga.
When the comment was shared on Twitter, netizens couldn’t hide their laughter at how iconic Anton was being. Some were annoyed by the comment towards the idol…
