Man Says He Lied About Having Monkeypox To Promote His Music

A man named Duane Cali went viral a few weeks ago by saying he had monkeypox, showing the evidence of the infection on his body on social media. Now, Cali is going viral again for lying about it to promote his music.

Cali says the gimmick “didn’t translate well and people just ended up getting mad at me.” Why did he look like he had monkeypox? He apparently faked it using makeup. He says he tries different ways to market his music, but this method obviously didn't work like he thought it would.
