Influencer Patrick aka Prateek Kaushik's friend calls Lafda Memer for truce: 'Everyone does this' excuse gets shut down, memer demands public apology
The influencer world just got another shockwave. As Prateek Kaushik who goes by the username patrickposts_here, continues to face heat over alleged inappropriate chats with a teen girl, meme page Lafda Memer (lafdamemerr) has now leaked a call recording with Prateek's best friend in an 11-minute YouTube video. And it is messy.
'Almost everyone does this nowadays,' says Prateek's friend defending him
In the call, Prateek's friend appears to downplay the controversy, saying, 'Almost everyone is like this these days.' But Lafda Memer swiftly calls him out, agreeing that many men do behave badly online, but making it very clear that messaging a minor is a whole different territory.
'Yes, every guy flirts these days, but not with a girl who is under 18,' Lafda responded.
Apology talks hit a wall
Prateek's friend was seemingly on damage control, requesting Lafda to let the issue slide. He suggested that going public with the screenshots was not the right move. But Lafda firmly stood his ground, saying he tried to reach out to Prateek twice for a conversation before going public, and was completely ignored.
He then challenged Prateek to go live with him and clarify things if he had nothing to hide, adding that this won't go away unless Prateek apologises to his fans publicly.
Lafda Memer demands apology and Rs 25k
Things took a murkier turn when Lafda brought up an earlier incident involving another girl. He claimed that at a party, a girl was falsely accused of stealing Prateek's AirPods after she accidentally touched them. Allegedly, she was asked to cough up Rs 25,000 to avoid trouble.
When Prateek's friend asked about this story, Lafda confirmed it and said the Rs 25K needs to be paid back as part of the truce, otherwise there is no closure.
As the call ends, Prateek's friend says he will 'see what he can do,' but no apology or resolution has been issued as of now. Meanwhile, Lafda Memer has made his stance clear, until there's an apology or compensation, this saga is far from over.
And the internet? It's watching, screenshotting, and waiting for round three!
