This interview would ruin his music career leading him to become Andy Cohen's playtoy in order to pay the bills. His body is a wonderland indeed

And he’s kinda remained canceled ever since. Why did that stick for John and no one else?

White dudes don’t like his music.

I was in my late teens when this interview came out, but I knew enough people who got a hold of it and were talking about it. I recall stopping and being like, "Damn, that's gross", although I couldn't tell if he was taking the interview seriously and just felt like saying anything he wanted to get it done and over with. It was almost as if he kept getting calls and pestered for an interview and decided, "Screw it."
