People have said to me that they
feel like you almost personally,
by the video going into the record
store with the chain and
the Adidas shoe and the late night
with Snoop and the dancers and
the money gun, that you're almost
putting up a middle finger to the NCAA.
How do you address those thoughts?
>> That has actually been a narrative
that some people have used since this and
if anybody that knows me knows
that I'm not smart enough
to figure out some of those
things that have transpired
that would relate to anything
other than that moment.
If you followed us I do stuff for
late night every year.
This year was no different.
It just happened.
I happen to be wearing an Adidas shirt
which happens to be our sponsor for
our next 14 years,
as that helps sponsor the event.
It was innocently given to me and
I just put it on.
And certainly the things,
I've already addressed and
spoke to what happened the other night.
I don't know how, an entertainer,
would in any way shape or form,
be thought to be, sticking it to anybody.
Including the NCAA by having
an entertainer perform.
So, I
do not like the narrative that has
been said concerning that with me.
But I also understand that I can't control
what the media writes or their opinions.
And I do know and people that know me know
that that's not factually true in any way,
shape or from.
