Adam Levine, whose band Maroon 5 is not nominated at this year’s MTV VMA’s, let his feelings known about the event.
The singer tweeted on Saturday (27.08.2011):
“The VMAs [are the] one day a year when MTV pretends to still care about music. I’m drawing a line in the sand. F–k you, VMAs.”
The network quickly responded to Adam Levine’s bitter words via their Twitter telling the singer:
“Soooo you’ll be tuning in at 9/8C tomorrow right? (BTW, bonus points if you TwitPic your 2004 Moonman!)”
But the musician didn’t stop there. Less than 30 minutes later, angry Adam Levine tweeted again:
“Still waiting to have my ‘Jerry Maguire mission statement moment of deep regret.’ Not happening. Phew!”
Seven hours later the Maroon 5 singer tweeted VMAs again, but this time apparently took some time to reflect upon his statement:
“I may be a pop singer. But every once in a while the angsty teenager in me just blurts out some raw honesty. It’s a reflex.”
Maroon 5 won the 2004 MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist following their debut album ‘Songs About Jane.’
The name of the awards show was officially changed from Video Music Awards to the VMAs in 2010, in an apparent attempt to appear less hippocritical about no longer featuring music on “Music Tele Vision”.
Adam Levine is currently on tour with Train and Gavin DeGraw.
