  • HEE HEE slept with many boys.

    How many excuses people make just to listen to some cheesy music.

    If you make an objective list for both sides IT IS CLEAR MJ WAS GROSS.

    Listening to “PYT” is boring, like there’s much better music out there. Enough jumping through hoops tryna excuse this monster.

    You have literally MILLIONS of other artists to choose from to make a podcast about. Wake up.
