Francis Ngannou went live on Facebook on Sunday, June 4, responding to his critics. 'The Predator' said:

"I'm at Harvard in the middle of the room and there are people of 22 nationalities who have all risen to sing the national anthem. But all that some have seen is dear fatherland. That was their only remark. They did not notice that everyone stood up in the oldest institution in the USA for the national anthem of Cameroon. They followed the code. Know one thing, I could have even sung benskin or bikutsi, did they have a choice? It was my show at the time. My brother when you are abroad and you have to sing the national anthem, only sing" h/t actucameroun.com
