“Everybody’s been like, you can’t say sh–t and not expect consequences. I’m fine with the consequences. I’m not arguing. F–ck it. But I do want everyone to know that I’ve been reading every one of my death threats in an Asian accent,” he said during the set.

“It’s been weird. Twitter has been f–king nuts. You try to stay off it when the whole f–-king country hates you. That’s not a fun feeling as a human. Especially when you never get to say your side at all.”

The audience reportedly gave him a warm greeting, clapping loudly and shouting his name multiple times.
