Forgive me for my cynicism, but this reply really does seem like a load of baloney. It’s really apparent that you left out your ‘inspiration’ even through your instagram post. Again, it’s fine to be inspired, but it really seems Pete was maliciously left out, whilst other less blatantly similar stylings of other artists were credited in your shoutout.
