Adam Levine isnt backing down from his critical comments about MTV.

Before the Video Music Awards, the Maroon 5 singer tweeted his disgust with the network for abandoning the music on which it was built.

The VMAs. one day a year when MTV pretends to still care about music, he wrote. Im drawing a line in the sand. f**k you VMAs.

Now, Levine has expanded on his slam with comments to E!

Its public knowledge that [MTV's] not a music channel, he says, explaining that he worshipped the VMAs when he was younger.

He adds, There were a lot of memorable moments and not only that, it was music television. It was a celebratory day that represented what the channel stood for.

Now, says Levine, Its sad. Its like seeing Tower Records in L.A. as a clothing store. I was just fed up with the whole thing. It is what it is. It was a very off-the-cuff statement that I definitely stood by.

Levine, who also stars on The Voice, hasnt been afraid to speak his mind of late.

He recently blasted rival American Idol for its treatment of gay performers.
