Reference to Music Video shared on Tamerlan Tsarnaev's Youtube page

I added the following sentence "In April 2013 Paz receives unintended publicity when the music video of one of his songs was among the videos posted on the YouTube account of Boston marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev" under the "Biography" section. The NBC investigative reporting blog made me aware of Vinnie Paz for the first time and (unless artist is quoted otherwise regarding some elaborate conspiracy and quite unconventional marketing) since Paz obviously has no control over who shares his video on YouTube (outside his circle of direct influence), I thought it reasonable to use the phrase "unintended publicity" without needing to hear from the artist that it was unintended. I think just saying "publicity" would have an unfair negative connotation. is indeed publicity nonetheless so minor mention of it from NPOV (in whatever form) should be maintained IMO. Room for improvements: 1. Anything that helps avoid unwarranted negative reflection on the artist. 2. Name of specific song/video shared on Tsarnaev's YouTube page Roadpeace (talk) 17:17, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
