While FB has temporarily taken the video off Gonzaga’s timeline pending a resolution of the reported complaint, it is still available for viewing on her YouTube channel. At the start of the video a disclaimer flashes which reads, “Panawagan kay Ariana Grande. The music that we used in this video is yours not mine. We know it. Atl east there’s the admission so please don’t report this. This is for old time’s sake, Remember we used to play piko? So please Youtube and Ariana people don’t delete this video. It’s for fun only.”
