During the 1995 American Music Awards, Prince performed a medley while conspicuously chewing gum to protest his record label’s demand that he use prerecorded tracks instead of a live band. ⁠ ⁠ He used this subtle act of defiance to signal to the audience that his voice was authentic and to express his disdain for lip-syncing in the context of the television industry.

Throwback to when Lampard wasn’t fit to play against Blackpool and Drogba took over his role just to show how insane his playmaking ability was. Even the referee was so impressed with his performance. Drogba was just too complete as a striker.
