Apparently, the joke did not make the Internet much more than a few people, and Nagasu makes every effort to try to remedy the situation.
“I was a bit annoyed they would not let me take on water, but it is environmentally friendly and I’m here to help the environment, too,” Nagasu said. “People are entitled event arena, and I was wrong. ”
