Dezignful claimed that instead of a chant, someone recalled a toast they had heard previously.\u2028 \u2028<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was no chant someone around us was telling us like a cheers\/toast they had heard no one was chanting anything and I didn\u2019t disrespect in any way so idk how it\u2019s &#8216;the truth of G2&#8217;,\u201d he tweeted.\u2028 \u2028<\/p>\n<p>ConfusingQT also mentioned Drac, a fellow Apex Legends content creator, in her post. He also denied ever being involved in a chant and backed up Dezignful\u2019s comment about someone reciting a toast.\u2028 \u2028Viewers asked the content creator about his participation during his live stream, but he revealed that he lost his voice during the tournament and had difficulty speaking, much less chanting.
