In a statement shared to social media, Zu made it clear he doesn’t need approval from anyone and isn’t here to chase internet fame. He says when he met August, he was already an adult, shutting down rumors that there was any inappropriate age gap or grooming involved. According to Zu, August didn’t even know him when he was 16 or 17, despite what the internet tried to piece together.⁠
