"modern geek it's just African clothes it doesn't mean we live for money lmaooooo it's just the part of tissue which is like that ! This kind of piece of tissue is cheap"
-snip-
It appears that "modern greek" changed his or her screen name to "Lone Wolf".

"Tissue" here probably means "cloth". Another commenter responded to a later comment (in 2018 I believe) who wrote that the singers' and the dancers' clothing was "Satanic" by indicating that this was just African print/African styles.

"3:50 everything goes DRC. Hahahahahaha....love it. The kids are on fire."

"DRC" - Democratic Republic of the Congo; meaning the influence of that nation is shown in that song (in the use of French and Lingala as well as in the dancing).
