MontanaBlack on Dubai: “A complete mess”
What is MontanaBlack’s opinion on this? The clip made its rounds on X. In the excerpt, the influencer clearly stated that he would not want to live in the United Arab Emirates. While he doesn’t rule out taking a vacation in Dubai, the most populous city in the Emirates, he would prefer to have a permanent residence in any other country.
In the clip on X: “You just have to say it like it is. I certainly won’t endorse a country where people are killed because of their sexual orientation.”
On the outside, Dubai may seem nice, but on the inside, it’s “a complete mess.”
In 2021, MontanaBlack had even contemplated leaving Germany for the island of Malta. At that time, he was particularly annoyed by high taxes and new rules for streamers in Germany.
How did the community react? A X user commented: “I never thought that something sensible would come out of his mouth.”
Overall, the community was positively surprised by the statements.
Why is this surprising? MontanaBlack is actually known for making statements that don’t sit well with the moral compass of many users on the platform X. Recently, there have been repeated actions from the influencer that have been harshly criticized there. Just recently the driving behavior of the 36-year-old was publicly criticized.
