Adam Levine mistakenly slams MTV
- 6 years ago
Adam Levine has been forced to backtrack after slamming the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs).
The Maroon 5 frontman hit out at organisers of the annual ceremony for snubbing Childish Gambino's 'This Is America' - but had to do a u-turn when he learned the promo was actually nominated for seven accolades, including Video of the Year and Best Direction.
He originally fumed: "This year, Childish Gambino released one of the most impactful, thought provoking and intelligent videos ever made. I'm sure he doesn't' care that he wasn't nominated for a VMA because he's cool as f**k and everything. But I care. Because I'm NOT that cool.”
"And I still want MTV to mean something again. But it won't. Ever. K bye."
Following his rant, followers were quick to point out Adam's mistake and the 38-year-old musician offered a half-hearted apology.
