Adele and Nicki should get all of the awards. Wayne works hard and is more popular, but let someone new get a chance.
The word “Hater” has no meaning. It been so deluded that now everyone uses it incorrectly. Anytime a negative opinion is given, you are automatically branded as a “Hater” without any explanation. If you think that the person with the negative view is jealous, then pull your head out of your ass and explain why (With Logic if you have it)
AND THEY ALL SUCK WHATS WRONG WITH U PEOPLE???
rihanna is the greatest lady of the world.I advice you come to africa, especially to Ethiopia.
