Speaking with Altpress, the band spoke about how their recent VMA performance almost didn’t happen.
"There was an artist they mentioned and we said, 'thank you, but we’re going to pass. It doesn’t make sense for us for a number of reasons,’” Joseph said.
“And we thought that was it: We had blown out chance to play the VMAs—and it’s gone forever. But it was a good decision and it made sense. Then MTV came back to us and said, ‘What about A$AP Rocky?’”
The band then went on to explain that they delved into the A$AP Mob world and discovered that the band and artists could actually be a good fit on stage. A lot happened after the joint performance, with Kanye West announcing that he was planning to run for President in 2020 and The White House and Justin Timberlake responding to his claims.
