Shamoon Reacts to People’s Reaction
“I have corrected myself to set an example cause people look up to me and I am answerable to a higher authority. Not because I am scared of a bunch and getting canceled. I am not pushed on your TV or radio or on a subscription that’s paid for. I don’t owe anyone anything,” the Taare singer stated.
When u apologize to a person and they tell u to apologize differently because they think they're God and have the right to doubt your intentions. Roll a spliff and call dominos
