FLOP
So another year on which Hasbeyn looses everything on this “unofficial fan club blog” and this year she even received the “razzie” – The “You Tried It / What Were You Thinking” Award
Keep going guys! ????????????
Judging by your username you’re definitely a secret fan lol
Think they meant 3 votes not 300K ????????
All of the Wizkid bots are finally gone
Until they return next year to spam this dying blog again????. That’s if TGJ is still around
Lol TGJ is a joke
lol lame list. This is only for people with zero musical taste.
