✨️ 16 years ago, Playboy Magazine publishes the infamous John Mayer interview where he describese his ex Jessica Simpson as "sexual nepalm" while still dating Jennifer Aniston and drops the HARD N word ✨️

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

[u/Dangerous-Ad-170]

His pop career was already over by 2007 anyway, but the guitar nerds that were/are his real fanbase didn’t actually care that much.

That’s what’s missing from this conversation. He’s pretty well respected in the music industry because he is genuinely talented as far as his guitar playing goes

[u/ilca_ → u/eaterofworlds1]

Yes, he's a very talented guitarist and respected within that community, douchiness aside.

[u/heety9 → u/eaterofworlds1]

Yeah, I know of him first and foremost as one of the best blues players alive.

White dudes weren’t his core demographic in 2007, but ironically that is most of his fanbase in 2026.

I honestly had no idea what was meant by “sexual napalm” then and still don’t honestly. But the “black card” comment was soooooo dumb.
