The reason that this is being brought up and reported amid the Waterbomb announcements is that Sik-K was sentenced to 10 months in prison with a two-year suspension after voluntarily turning himself in for drug use.
While the initial post was shared earlier in the month, on May 15, various outlets have reported on the announcement. Considering the charges Sik-K was reprimanded on, outlets such as Insight point out that there could be controversy and mixed public sentiment if the rapper performs.
