drake and beiber are both canadian how the fuck can they even be nominated for american music awards???
Good point, but then you have to ask, are they still legally Canadian citizens? I have a feeling they both have become US citizens.
good question!But, Maybe Evan is right!
Wow, Em is miles ahead of Drake and the rest of those nominated clowns. American Music awards don’t represent the Americans I kick it with.
