"You are just bringing back the dragging. AG himself ignored them, why do you have to address it? So they can start dragging him again? Or do you think you telling them to leave him alone will make them do that?"
@godofscents commented:
"AG's craft is unmatched, his latest album proved how artistic he is with his sound, a big fan I am but when it comes to him as a person well I guess he has a lot to work on. Great guy anyways."
