Lacy has explained why he rejected a proposed collaboration with Mark Wahlberg, denying that Neon’s earlier stream with the actor influenced his decision. The streamer said he was initially interested but objected to strict conditions, including a 60-minute limit, reacting to a trailer, promoting an upcoming project and involving CORE members. Lacy argued that such restrictions removed his creative control and made the appearance feel more like a promotional segment than a genuine collaboration.
