I enjoyed his song way back, but I don't understand why he's going about causing strife up and down. Everyone is the hero of their own stories hence he will not admit he did anything that will rub others the wrong way. Social media craves for controversy and will abandon him after his one minute of fame. If he wants to be consistently in the limelight, he needs to find his way back to the studio and sing or do something worthwhile. Pushing controversies up and down won't last long.
