Duke Dennis Responds To The Eating Grapes Trend
In September 2024, Duke Dennis then responded to the trend of people making fun of the way he ate grapes, saying that people were blowing things out of proportion. He made a reference to a Phillip Benjamin Hudson video in which he eats Skittles and shakes them in his hand so they don't get sticky, adding that people in real life "don't talk like that." Dennis also made fun of the phrase "aura farming."[6]
