Last year during the concert, I told the audience. And today, I’d like to tell the sunbaes and hoobaes here — as well as the viewers watching at home. VIBE did nothing shameful. Our agency, MAJOR9, and its artists are being accused too. But I want all of them to continue making music and singing with the same pride they always have had. I simply wish that this whole controversy leads to the wrongs being fixed and to honest artists not being harmed.
