Wasn't this a 2017 interview? But anyway... He is far from being the biggest offender. He gives props all the time to those who inspire him and doesn't just use the sound/culture when it benefits him. This is no Gum Cyrus type of thing.
If people want to complain than complain to the grammys and other awards who reward and praise to high heavens the music made by sam smith, Adele etc, while calling the black artists who do the same type of music boring and uninspired.
