WHAT???? MTV does music? When did they start doing that again???
The funny part is that there are probably more music videos now than there ever were when MTV was just a video music channel with VJs.
Who is out to stop the weeknds album sales and career because of envy AND PROBALLY FALSE STATEMENTS. THIS IS TO DEFAME AND DISCREDIT HIM BEFORE ALBUM IS RELEASED SO HE WILL LOSE MANY SALES. HE WAS ALSO MESSED UP FOR KISSLAND. HE REALLY SHOULD SUE BECAUSE WE REALLY KNOW WHAT RAPPER IS JEALOUS AND BEHIND THIS.
THE WEEKND IS MOST TALENTED OUT RIGHT NOW. THEY JUST WON’T LET HIM BE GREAT, I WAS WAITING FOR THE ENVY TO TAKE HOLD. PLEASE WEEKND SUE BECAUSE YOU HAVE WORKED TO HARD FOR THIS.
.
THE STATEMENT ABOUT THE WEEKND IS PROBALLY FALSE AND CREATED TO DISCREDIT AND DEFAME HIM. ALSO SOMEONE IS JEALOUS AND OUT TO TUIN HIS CAREER. PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BELIEVE THIS COMMING FROM SOMEONE SO SOON BEFORE HIS ALBUM RELEASE.
