Embiid, who has been sidelined this season while recovering from a broken foot, didn't actually respond to any of the tweets initially. Fans wanted answers, but Embiid pleaded patience:
Patience young fella, patience RT @seanzie_3: @JoelEmbiid why haven't you answered any? #TellJoel

Then, on Thursday, Embiid tweeted out this video of him reading some of the #TellJoel posts:
👏 to the haters and fans (mainly fans). You made #TellJoel 💯. Time for me and @GetGameOn to bring the 💪 to you https://t.co/wXIOR1wMLI

The video was done in partnership with Game On, a mobile app where fans can discuss sports. The video title suggested there were more to come, and sure enough, a longer video was released on Friday:
YOU GUYS WANT MORE?!?! Me & @GetGameOn give you more. 👍👍 Welcome to #JojosHouse #TellJoel http://t.co/Y0QqSRKRoj

In the second video, Embiid addresses his "rumored" relationship with Rihanna, a running joke the young center has been making since he joined the Sixers:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE!!!!! I'll take to Giorgios when I'm back in LA this summer @rihanna #HOT pic.twitter.com/u4pmQu423k

Embiid may have a shot with the singer now that reports say she and actor Leonardo DiCaprio are not together. Until then, keep making more videos, Joel.
