Forever (Translation) = Wrigley

Looks like the Ad Boys, in the building!! Steve Stoute and Jay-Z’s Translation have exercised their usual “Trickery.” Chris Brown’s hit “Forever,” is actually a jingle for Wrigley’s Gum franchise, that was pawned off as an special track for Chris Brown’s re-release of his hit album “Exclusive.” I feel so used.
