Poor Miguel. He’s one of the most humble, respectful and talented dudes in the game and now more people know him for his rasslin’ skills than his music. Of course I’m referring to the incident at the Billboard Music Awards last weekend when he leg dropped two female fans. It’s a blessing and a curse. It was one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever seen happen to an artist, yet now he’s a household name. The question is, what happened? Miguel responded.

One major question mark is his sense of style, though. Maybe I’m off the mark, but the look he debuted last night was frightening.

Box confirmed that I was almost a scam victim. Thanks, internet!
