Tommy Richman addresses the negative comments he’s received this year.
“It’s really interesting being the new guy,” he says. “There’s a lot of hate. I think part of it is that the song is super overplayed."
With a laugh, he adds, "Maybe people just don't like the way my face looks or something. Maybe some people just think I'm annoying looking. It’s a lot of things.”
“I feel like the narrative is that I'm just this new guy with this song that's annoying, but I'm a lot more than that,” he continues. “I am not a fucking ringtone. I'm not just a little 15-second snippet.”
