After some defamatory remarks about Link emerged in the media, Link Music and Dynasty Promotion Company filed lawsuits against multiple media outlets and news websites, accusing them of spreading false statements and infringing on Link's right to reputation, demanding a public apology.
Meanwhile, the two companies also interviewed more than a dozen people through the media who had interactions with Link, including Latinos and African-Americans.
Including Mario, Coach West, Morales, Coach Brooks, Manager Robinson, Tyson, Holyfield, and others, they all stated that Link was a very friendly person and definitely not a racist.
The Miami Herald also reported that Link's grandmother was an immigrant from Latin America, with darker skin, possibly having African ancestry.
Link was startled to see this news, and quickly told Ivanka and Franco to stop investigating, as he could potentially be hyped as a little black guy. He would rather be slandered than become black.
