It’s Raining Confusion: Kevin Samuels Leaves Viewers Talking After Recent Live Showing Man In Bed, Allegedly
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: svetikd / Getty Kevin Samuels may be used to handing out the critiques, but after his most recent live—viewers are the ones left with questions. Last week while on his live stream show, Samuels was seemingly giving a woman advice while staring at a laptop screen visibly clicking through screens. After a few moments into the guest’s story, the camera appears to flip and reveal a man sleeping in the bed, an incident Samuels referred to as a “glitch.” While the video is clear that there was a man on the screen, fans are torn between whether the man in question was just a sleeping friend of the YouTube life coach, or something more—a point many women state makes him a hypocrite. After being dragged online over the “glitch”, Kevin Samuels issued an official st...

Petersson went on to describe his “biggest fear” in the aftermath o...
