"It was my homegirl's phone. He messaged a real female. She's a popular influencer that I hang out with. So, I made it seem like he messaged me when he never really messaged me. I made a fake thread of me texting myself back. I know it sounds crazy and and I did all of this for attention on the internet. But a b*tch was a bored and I thought it was funny," they said.
