I am deeply appalled and angry to see βFireworkβ used on the @WhiteHouse TikTok account as a backing track for video footage of military strikes. I did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it.
I wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing, and inner strength for people going through their darkest personal moments. To see a message of self-worth and upliftment weaponized to soundtrack destruction and violence is a complete violation of everything my song stands for.
My music is for bringing people together, not celebrating warfare.
Mike Conley on if he was trying to start trouble at the end of the game passing it up to Jaden McDaniels
β(Laughs) nah that was a slip up, thatβs all on me I take the blameβ¦ as soon as I threw it I looked and I was like βah itβs Jadenβ I almost put my hands on my head and I was like βmaybe he wonβtβ and then as soon as I saw him when the ball kind of bounced a couple times βitβs over manβ you can even see me like lower my headβ
Whoa.... Devin Booker just WENT OFF on the NBA refs right now in the post game press conference:
"It's definitely something that has to be looked at. I heard (Alex) Caruso tell them to call the tech and he ended up doing it. In my 11 years, I haven't called a ref out by name, but James (Williams) was terrible tonight, through and through. It's bad for the sport, bad for the integrity of the sport. People are going to start viewing this as the WWE if they're not held responsible."
"I know I haven't won a championship in this league but I have been in it for 11 years now, so to get to this point to be treated like that, for me to even be saying something out loud, it's bad. It's my first time in 11 years but it's needed. Whatever, I get fined for it, everybody can pull the clips and see where the frustration comes from."
