He said he would like to legalize marijuana. On 14 July, during a concert in Wrocław as part of the Mata Tour, he admitted that the film was not entirely serious.{{Citation |title=Czy Mata faktycznie będzie startował na prezydenta? |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eqx_6WhXelA |language=en |access-date=2022-07-17}}
