Remembering Maroon 5’s 2016 Music Video That Trolled Pokemon Go After Adam Levine’s First Live Show Appearance Amidst Cheating Allegations

As Adam Levine faces accusations by many over cheating allegations on his wife Behati Prinsloo, he goes on to have his first public concert at Shaquille O’Neal’s charity gala. This has brought up a recent trend of visiting Maroon 5’s previous songs and among these is the famous Pokemon Go trolling music video “Don’t Wanna Know.”

As the trend for Pokemon Go was at its peak, Maroon 5 had a beef with the unnecessary cultural influence that the game had over the youth at that time. Several cases of accidents and people having crazy hype to catch Pokemons in public places were the inspiration for the song.
