The user commented—

"You say you're Muslim but be sponsored by Heineken....Please explain."

The Show Goes On singer responded to the tweet with a photo explaining the collaboration. Fiasco added that the president of Heineken, "is a dear brother" of his. He added—

"When we hang out with the crew I could never join in with the after hours drinks so he made Heineken 0.0 for me so I could drink too."
