“As a lot as I really like Mariah Carey and all that, I need to say, do me a favor and f— off,” Gallagher stated. “It’s like placing me within the rap corridor of fame, and I don’t need to be a part of something that mentally disturbed. Moreover, I’ve accomplished extra for rock n’ roll than half of them clowns on that board, so it’s all a load of bollocks.”
