i was at boston calling yesterday and it was awkward as hell. they just stayed silent thru all his verses and hardly anyone sung his lyrics. watching some of them literally cry thru bleach was painful. this situation just sucks.
I’ve never heard of them until I went to Blurry Vision festival last year, right before he was kicked out. It’s still crazy that the first time I saw them live was the last time they were all together
Ya think these dudes just read allegations on Twitter about their friend and then kicked him out? Nah son. They dug and found shit. That's how it works
Thank you very much. I find it really disheartening that people are willing to just toss aside the allegations like they didn't mean anything. I'm not saying he did or didn't, I am not saying that keeping him would have been the wrong decision, but it's not something to take lightly , and it is time that artists are held accountable for their behavior instead of getting a pass.
What you know is that the group was friends with Ameer (many pre-Brockhampton) and then they found some shit out that led them to make a tough choice. Your lack of information shouldn't provide any base for you to assert that it was unnecessary
Sad because if this spells bad news for their future as a group, saturation will be their big punctuation, yet it was supposed to get their name out there and kick off the rest of their success...
I don’t think it marks the end of brockhampton all together. I think it just marks the end of saturation era brockhampton. But I do agree that it might shorten their life expectancy a bit
Yakka Brockhampton will never top the Saturation’s. It’s the Illmatic effect. Once artists become famous and comfortable, an irreplaceable piece of that passion and creativity disappears and never returns. You can see it with practically every hip hop act in history.
To be fair, Ameer totally hinted at stuff like this... "And there's a couple women, and they know some things About lies that I done told and shit that I done said..."
The thing is a ton of artists talk about illegal and immoral things. But because its music, theres no way of knowing whats true or not and that type of thing.
imo their decision to kick him out says enough about the validity of the accusations and the severity of his actions. it's obvious that we, the general public, know only a fraction of the actual situation so why some people are acting like they know better than brockhampton, who undoubtedly know way more than we do at this point, is beyond me.
Griffin exactly. and on kevin’s livestream he mentioned that he felt bad because he “should’ve said something.” which implies that he knew. the victims that spoke out also said that other members knew about it but didn’t do anything.
in the age of sjw snowflakes it says enough only about the loyalty of brockhampton members to each other. He didn't kill anybody or shit like that. Mental abuse can be literally calling chick a "bitch". And from all those evidences(I mean chicks' stupid DMs of course), I understood that he was kinda overprotective and pushy. And about his relations with minor: he was 18 and she was 17; they were having the same english class at school lmao. it wasn't like michael jackson/kevin spacey type of shit
I feel like the "relationship with a minor" thing is misleading. From what I gather he was 17/18, she was 15/16, doesn't justify his other alleged behavior, but many high school teens are dating people 2-3 years older than them. If we find out there are others who are even younger that's when I'd think it'd be appropriate to call him out for it. Get him for the abuse stuff, not for being a highschooler dating another slightly younger highschooler.
When taking into consideration the Romeo and Juliet laws and the age of consent in Texas, there’s nothing wrong with what he did at all aside from the fact that he cheated
She was 17 and he was 19. I agree, I don't think that part is the issue. Its the fact that he's had multiple allegations of emotional abuse and some of physical and sexual abuse. Totally justified that he was kicked.
PinguThePenguin excellent point - but I’m still in shock they decided to discard such a pivotal member of the group; we all know we fucking loved rapping along with Ameer in the car.. I guess it had to be done,?
People aren't getting that BH made it their mission statement to present masculinity in a non-toxic way. Keeping Ameer in the group, especially with verses like Matt's on JUNKY, would have made that image redundant. I don't think they caved to pressure from fans, it was their decision to make and obviously it was more than just the allegations. No one should be attacking BH or the victims right now - especially the latter. I s2g some BH fanboys are acting exactly like the dudes Matt raps about on JUNKY, ironically.
Sorta... Reluctantly yah, i sorta agree. Intended on defending group/disagreeing with you in msg but... fuck it. Still a fan, but hard to envision scenario where Ameer's exit is positive, & doesn't detract from quality of music. Sub out: Ameer's fist fight & drug bars / Sub in: More of Kev's ass to mouth excursions... Go team :/
yeah it was a real downer, I'm glad the still did the performance though they tried their best in a tough situation and they did a good job. Also the circle pit during SISTER was pretty rad.
I heard about it, and I'm not surprised. It's sad because I remember watching them perform in San Antonio back in January, and they brought some of the most amazing energy I've ever seen onstage. I would have broken down as well if I were at Boston.
I'm extremely sad because ameer was one of my favorite members, but just because i liked and support him as a artist doesn't mean i should like his actions. I don't want to discredit the victims or jumps to conclusions about if he was wrong or now, however it looks like brockhampton did some research and figured it out that maybe they aren't just accusations. with that being said, i really hope that ameer gets the help he needs, and the victims too, if they need it. ameer is a person, and we shouldn't bash him, but we also shouldn't victim blame. and for all the jerks on twitter saying "see what you guys fucking did" bc he's now out of the band, please stop, like i said, there has to be some merit to the accusations. they wouldn't kick him out just because twitter stans were calling for it. they would need some truth in order to do it. please don't give up on our boys. let them grow.
i'm proud of brockhampton. from the start they've built this image of being a pretty progressive rap group, and this is just a reflection of them not standing for this type of shit - even from their own members.
BEEFISBURGERS How do you know this? Are you in Brockhampton? Have you had personal conversation with them about this? Were you there with Ameer every day and know for sure he "didn't even do anything"?
I saw them perform yesterday at Boston Calling without Ameer. All the songs they performed still had the open instrumental for Ameer’s verses and everytime Ameer was supposed to be doing his verse everyone on stage would kind of be quiet and just kinda say random things like “how you doing bostooooonnnn” etc. Joba, Dom, and Kevin started crying and hugging each other on stage during Bleach when Ameer should have been rapping but it was just the instrumental playing without his vocals. It was pretty sad :(
Blastmaster KRS-One Yes because losing one of your best friends even though he did some messed up shit is always easy. Let them be themselves man. Why you gotta bring that negative attitude around here? Were you just born angry at the world?
Just remember folks, this is the move that they're making to save their careers. Especially when they just got signed to RCA. RCA probably had much more to do with making the decision than the actual members did. So we're getting Brockhampton without Ameer or no Brockhampton at all. It is what it is man, hopefully they can still make more hits in the future!
HomeBoy Advance I think it’s the opposite I find it super disloyal and think it’s gonna hurt then just as bad if not worse than keeping him in the group
"We were lied to" feels especially heavy to me. That sounds like new evidence for one of the more serious accusations. In any case, Kevin and Ameer were best friends since 14 so they had to have been really really sure Ameer was guilty.
Yes. People like to claim what happened or what did not happen. But at the end of the day, the group knows it better than us and when they said they were lied to, there's something bigger here that we do not know. We have to respect & trust the team's decision.
I want to live in a world where treating women poorly has consequences. I'm proud of the group. Listening to Matt Champion's verse on Junky would feel pretty weak if I knew that the group would look the other way when one of their own mistreated women. Inclusion, respect and acceptance has always been a big theme for Brockhampton, so I'm happy to see it wasn't just empty words.
It does have consequences. You don't have to kill someone's livelihood and project for there to be any consequences. It sounds like he is in therapy and he's suffered a lot of negative publicity and attacks. Those are consequences, and they're already more than commensurate with being a shitty boyfriend. Granted we don't know the full story, so let's see if that holds.
I don't think Brockhampton wanted to kick Ameer out. Their hand was probably forced by RCA (which they just signed to) and the current Outrage Culture that's all over social media.
He was my favorite member and the one who kept my interest in Saturation 1. Unless there is something we don’t know yet then I don’t see why he can’t be forgiven. He seems to have put the past behind him and was at least going in the right direction. By how a lot of fans have reacted to this whole ordeal scares me. It’s like your past will always define you no matter if you’ve been reformed. Obviously he deserves scrutiny for what he did but not having his career ruined. Things aren’t always black and white.
That's 2018 bro. Court of public opinion, especially on Twitter, is out of control and they don't give a fuck because they will never be held responsible for ruining someone. And if you actually stand up for someone and suggest we maybe figure everything out and deal with it in an appropriate and measured way, you now support the stupid shit they were doing.
LewieBot couldn’t have said it any better myself. I really hope society starts to shift away from this witch hunting, especially if the person is trying to improve themselves. All this does is discourage people from admitting to their wrong doings and trying to learn from them and become better people.
marissa Yeah tbh, just like anything else... Similar to murder, if ALL murders were exactly the same then why don't all murderers get 25 to life? Yeah what they did was bad, but there's a reason for everything, and some things should be forgiven under certain circumstances. So yes, there should be a grey area, but that definitely doesn't mean that abuse is okay, just that it CAN be forgiven.
I doubt it. Obviously the Ameer scandal really shook them, but I don't think it's enough for the band to fully break up. A hiatus would more likely happen.
It's a difficult situation because so much of society is 0 or 100. Brockhampton's only possible move was to ignore the allegations or kick Ameer out. In this current age, we lack nuance or grey area, so there wasn't a way the group could really "punish" him besides kicking him out which I find unfortunate.
There are still legal actions to be taken... But allegations will remain allegations, if the group found something and decided to kick him instead of legal actions thats their choice too
Tonky Tron well to be fair drugs, sex and the superstar fame kept them going. Plus there was no outrage internet culture so persona issues could be dealt with without public knowledge sometimes
It’s such bullshit how his career is ending over this. There’s so many celebrities that have done much worse and got away with it. The only thing he’s guilty of is being an asshole, which he’s always addressed in his lyrics. He deserves a chance to redeem himself and I can’t believe his friends didn’t have his back on this. Brockhampton will never be the same again.
"Yeah I polluted my community with drugs to make sure me and my family survive." DAM THIS GO HARD "I cheated on my girlfriend and told her she wasn't special." DAM UR CANCELED BRO WTF
Not trying to say what ur saying doesn’t have a good point, but I think it’s obvious that none of us watching this have the full picture of what’s happening. Brockhampton likely know more about the situation and made a decision based on that. Melon’s video did a good job of laying it out.
This is intense. Thanks for being a levelheaded, eloquent speaker, Melon. I appreciate your stance on matters such as these, it seems the most reasonable way to respond.
Im upset about it, but to me, by no means does this mean the end of Brockhampton. Yes he may have had great verses on the biggest songs but the production and ideas will likely still be there. I doubt they will top the saturation trilogy but they certainly still have the talent to.
Im calling it. The members knew and didn't want to kick him out, especially considering the lyrics Ameer put on his songs, but RCA, the label that represents CHRIS BROWN AND R. KELLY, forced them to let him go. Ameer has been getting help, even going to Bible study for over a year, apologized to the victims, and consistently talked about his poor treatment of loved ones. I hope the victims are doing ok, but these actions allegedly happened 3 years ago, when Ameer was still a teen. Also, why are they ok with coming out about this abuse now, when Brockhampton is doing the best they ever have, but not when they were complete nobodies with no fanbase 3 years ago?
It’s just difficult to decide how I feel about all this when there’s so little concrete information. The announcement of Ameer’s absence is contradicting, saying he lied to them while also confessing to have some knowledge about his actions. Not many people seem to be upset by the latter?? But we don’t know what he lied about, what they knew, or what allegations are legitimate besides him cheating. Of course some of his lyrics point to abuse and taking advantage of women during sex but we can’t base it off just that. I really hope they’ll inform us more instead of keeping us in the dark. It’s important for me to know who I’ve been supporting and who I’m currently supporting in the group and their roles in this.
Tyler rapped about bad shit but he's never been accused of seriously doing anything like that. Saying this is acting like the only evidence against Ameer is that he rapped bad shit
I was at the show at Boston calling yesterday where they let the beat ride on Ameers verse and Kevin started crying at one point during the set and joba hugged him but then also broke down in tears. Really heart breaking to see them so upset.
ok that there is less variety is fair. that is fair. But there might be a new member. they might branch out. they might adapt. well see. But they had to kick him. They said that new stuff came out. it has to be bad, like worse than what has come out. (and some of that is pretty bad). Its a shame, i like his verse on teeth but hey what can you do. the group is consistent
This doesn’t make sense. Why even criticize a member for previous emotional abuse if you aren’t going to support their transformation into a better citizen? Obviously he was remorseful and clearly confessed to all his wrongs in his lyrics, what’s the point of only making his life worse when it won’t even help change him? It’s just ruining a career without sufficient evidence, but more importantly, discouraging any change that he attempted to make.
Missing In Action the emotional abuse could've been towards brockhampton as well, but they are saying this is because of his actions, as if they're referring to the things he was accused for.
What the fuck even is "emotional abuse"? I'm sure there are a lot of artists out there who have "emotionally abused" people and acted like pricks but we still appreciate their work.
If you got a problem with me, try some other guy I let you know I'm a dog, I ate the cat alive But really though, I'm alone cause I don't stick around And yes, I know it's my fault, so put your finger down - [Verse 4: Ameer Vann]
I’m so sad... Ameer was one of my favorite members, i was shocked when i heard the allegations, so disappointed. Nevertheless i think their decision was the best one they could’ve made.
I personally don't want to count the minor allegations as how Ameer used to live in texas where the age of consent is 17. He states in his tweet when apologizing "Throughout the past 3 years I've been working hard to reflect on myself and seek out help." And hes 21 now (soon to be 22) Which means he was 18/19. Which to me was a time for him to START maturing, he only started reaching that age. As for the Emotional and Sexual Abuse, he has talked about how he has done wrong in songs, as a bh fan, its not news that he was deceiving as a boyfriend.
What I hate about the Stans are how they just assumed the allegations to be true. All she did was tweet out a story about this and that. Everyone believed it and the pressure came onto BH. I know Ameer has talked about dealing with emotionally abusing his ex in songs before and even seeking help. But no one will obviously give Ameer a chance to prove that he has changed.
It would help if there was actual proof or evidence to ameer even treating her wrong, in my opinion. It would be alot more believable if there was photos or something. But it's just really hard to believe that there isnt even a court case being filed against him. Instead the girl took it to twitter because she knows the BH stans are just going to attack because they like to grab on to any information (wrong or right) because they got nothing better to do.
Damn, that only leaves BROCKHAMPTON with 44 members 😢
John Fee Yeah I thought this group was all about diversity and then they kick the only abusive member out im done with brockhampton smh 😤

exactly! he's 21, and the "Relationship with a minor" was in 2015, so he would've been 17/18
So if he was 18 and she was 15... that's pretty bad no? But idk the deets
I can re-call about 50 girls in my year alone who slept with guys aged 18 when they were around 15,
So a fanbase that considers them particularly "progressive" is not taking sexual abuse seriously? This just shows how biases come into play

Who's cal
Just remember folks, this is the move that they're making to save their careers. Especially when they just got signed to RCA. RCA probably had much more to do with making the decision than the actual members did. So we're getting Brockhampton without Ameer or no Brockhampton at all. It is what it is man, hopefully they can still make more hits in the future!
HomeBoy Advance I think it’s the opposite I find it super disloyal and think it’s gonna hurt then just as bad if not worse than keeping him in the group
HomeBoy Advance Rca: has Chris Brown and R Kelly signed Hmmmmm?
I was so looking forward to seeing them on Tuesday :(
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
This is running on empty, abuse review.
"We were lied to" feels especially heavy to me. That sounds like new evidence for one of the more serious accusations. In any case, Kevin and Ameer were best friends since 14 so they had to have been really really sure Ameer was guilty.
Yes. People like to claim what happened or what did not happen. But at the end of the day, the group knows it better than us and when they said they were lied to, there's something bigger here that we do not know. We have to respect & trust the team's decision.
Or he just didn’t tell them straight up about his past
I want to live in a world where treating women poorly has consequences. I'm proud of the group. Listening to Matt Champion's verse on Junky would feel pretty weak if I knew that the group would look the other way when one of their own mistreated women. Inclusion, respect and acceptance has always been a big theme for Brockhampton, so I'm happy to see it wasn't just empty words.
It does have consequences. You don't have to kill someone's livelihood and project for there to be any consequences.
It sounds like he is in therapy and he's suffered a lot of negative publicity and attacks. Those are consequences, and they're already more than commensurate with being a shitty boyfriend. Granted we don't know the full story, so let's see if that holds.
Women have agency too and there are laws for that.
I don't think Brockhampton wanted to kick Ameer out. Their hand was probably forced by RCA (which they just signed to) and the current Outrage Culture that's all over social media.
Do you also want to live in a world where treating men poorly has consequences too? Please keep it consistent.
No Fre Uhhhhh, RCA have R Kelly and Chris Brown signed. They do not care about abuse allegations.
Anthony takes a bath in tar.
He joins BROCKHAMPTON as Ameer 2.
Life is good again.
Lmao
I'm crying in the club rn
Sketchy Pencil artsy
I like your Mark Foster profile picture
Vincent M lmfaooo
Hereby Hereby edgy.
Vincent M do I? I subscribe to everyone I watch even if I don't like them
I feel just like Zayn
This was beautifully put anthony, the best response ive seen so far
He was my favorite member and the one who kept my interest in Saturation 1. Unless there is something we don’t know yet then I don’t see why he can’t be forgiven. He seems to have put the past behind him and was at least going in the right direction.
By how a lot of fans have reacted to this whole ordeal scares me. It’s like your past will always define you no matter if you’ve been reformed. Obviously he deserves scrutiny for what he did but not having his career ruined. Things aren’t always black and white.
Yeah scary times man
That's 2018 bro. Court of public opinion, especially on Twitter, is out of control and they don't give a fuck because they will never be held responsible for ruining someone. And if you actually stand up for someone and suggest we maybe figure everything out and deal with it in an appropriate and measured way, you now support the stupid shit they were doing.
LewieBot couldn’t have said it any better myself. I really hope society starts to shift away from this witch hunting, especially if the person is trying to improve themselves. All this does is discourage people from admitting to their wrong doings and trying to learn from them and become better people.
what makes it not black or white? is there supposed to be some grey area where abuse is ok?
marissa Yeah tbh, just like anything else... Similar to murder, if ALL murders were exactly the same then why don't all murderers get 25 to life? Yeah what they did was bad, but there's a reason for everything, and some things should be forgiven under certain circumstances. So yes, there should be a grey area, but that definitely doesn't mean that abuse is okay, just that it CAN be forgiven.
I know this is serious, but is Melon still in the band?
austinegy kicked out cause of melon abuse
PID he abused melons
Inner City Dispute i know this is hard for us, but it is the truth that he is a melon abuser
I guess Sat 3 was their last studio album...
Ellis Collingborn oh shit they predicted their own future
SPOOKY
Ellis Collingborn LOL
I doubt it. Obviously the Ameer scandal really shook them, but I don't think it's enough for the band to fully break up. A hiatus would more likely happen.
Peter Cahill I doubt even a hiatus... a hiatus is an indefinite breakup so I doubt even that
It's a difficult situation because so much of society is 0 or 100. Brockhampton's only possible move was to ignore the allegations or kick Ameer out. In this current age, we lack nuance or grey area, so there wasn't a way the group could really "punish" him besides kicking him out which I find unfortunate.
sjshoker I agree 100%
There are still legal actions to be taken... But allegations will remain allegations, if the group found something and decided to kick him instead of legal actions thats their choice too
by todays standards, every hair band in the 80's would've disbanded immediately lol
Tonky Tron well to be fair drugs, sex and the superstar fame kept them going. Plus there was no outrage internet culture so persona issues could be dealt with without public knowledge sometimes
Good
NOW AMEER WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO REPEAT THE SAME THINGS
RIP 2015 - 2018
brockhampton "I never write a verse and repeat the same thangs" - Ameer Vann
Ameer "I learned that I was different" Vann
"Then i turned into an asshole" - vann
"I sexually identify as a dolphin" ameer vann
Ameer "I'm a black man" Vann
Ameerthany Vantano
danny johanssen too soon
Ameerthany Gonetano
Remember that line on BOYS? "I feel like Zayn" FORESHADOWING
It’s such bullshit how his career is ending over this. There’s so many celebrities that have done much worse and got away with it. The only thing he’s guilty of is being an asshole, which he’s always addressed in his lyrics. He deserves a chance to redeem himself and I can’t believe his friends didn’t have his back on this. Brockhampton will never be the same again.
Why are you defending an abuser just because you like his music?
i hope its BIG BIG prank for ameers ex
Melon dying inside
"Yeah I polluted my community with drugs to make sure me and my family survive."
DAM THIS GO HARD
"I cheated on my girlfriend and told her she wasn't special."
DAM UR CANCELED BRO WTF
The Young Library Trapper lmao this is perfect, isn’t it such a weird hyper sensitive time we’re living in?
twitter hoes are wild
Not trying to say what ur saying doesn’t have a good point, but I think it’s obvious that none of us watching this have the full picture of what’s happening. Brockhampton likely know more about the situation and made a decision based on that. Melon’s video did a good job of laying it out.
He's also accused of having relations with underage girls
Dr Funkenstein wtf how is that underage?
I saw them live Saturday. It was really weird, they just dropped all of his verses and let the instrumental play.
WHO DONE CALLED THE COPS ON MY NIGGAS
So are they gonna perform old songs anymore? Most of them have Ameer on them...
they performed a show recently, ameer wasn't there, they skipped his verses, joba and dom cried, it was pretty sad all round
ameer is even on the cover of all three saturations, right? damn that's wack
Harvey Jones joba and kevin*
Harvey Jones damm, that's depression
BP Steve Jobs was fired from Apple
“I feel just like Zayn”
Sir Charles Barkley We should probably look into Zayn for abuse.
The first 20 seconds of "Milk" are SO potent now :O
This is intense. Thanks for being a levelheaded, eloquent speaker, Melon. I appreciate your stance on matters such as these, it seems the most reasonable way to respond.
As much as I will miss Ameer, the boys made the right decision.
Im upset about it, but to me, by no means does this mean the end of Brockhampton. Yes he may have had great verses on the biggest songs but the production and ideas will likely still be there. I doubt they will top the saturation trilogy but they certainly still have the talent to.
tom smith brockhampton certainly won’t end, it just won’t feel the same
I’m deeply saddened by this news
Marcus Moody headass
+D MfC
!
I thought you were Tay K for a sec
Im calling it. The members knew and didn't want to kick him out, especially considering the lyrics Ameer put on his songs, but RCA, the label that represents CHRIS BROWN AND R. KELLY, forced them to let him go. Ameer has been getting help, even going to Bible study for over a year, apologized to the victims, and consistently talked about his poor treatment of loved ones. I hope the victims are doing ok, but these actions allegedly happened 3 years ago, when Ameer was still a teen. Also, why are they ok with coming out about this abuse now, when Brockhampton is doing the best they ever have, but not when they were complete nobodies with no fanbase 3 years ago?
been waiting for fantano to say anyting about this
Shawn Mendes for the replacement
i wouldn't mine tbh. that boy lushhh.
i don't fuck with no white boys
tbh I would sub in Ansel Elgort
Faith he doesn't need to rap, not everyone in Brockhampton raps
Shit man I had tickets for June 8th... But I understand
Juan Luna do you get a refund?
I almost bought tickets for June 4th. Even almost had a buddy fly to Richmond to see them with me. Now I'm glad we didn't go thru with it.
Brianna Garcia The venue hasn't emailed me yet but I hope they do. I'm in college, $40 is a lot for me lol
I was almost gonna get tickets to lollapalooza just for them(and a few other artists) good thing i didnt
I was supposed to see them August 1st. Really dissapointed but I understand their reasoning.
I FEEL JUST LIKE ZAYN
It’s just difficult to decide how I feel about all this when there’s so little concrete information. The announcement of Ameer’s absence is contradicting, saying he lied to them while also confessing to have some knowledge about his actions. Not many people seem to be upset by the latter?? But we don’t know what he lied about, what they knew, or what allegations are legitimate besides him cheating. Of course some of his lyrics point to abuse and taking advantage of women during sex but we can’t base it off just that. I really hope they’ll inform us more instead of keeping us in the dark. It’s important for me to know who I’ve been supporting and who I’m currently supporting in the group and their roles in this.
WHO IS GUNNA B THE BLACK TOM HANKS ANYMORE
Laith Zalatimo watch Tom Hanks get accused of sexual misconduct later lmao
Now he's the black Chris Brown.
Laith Zalatimo Tom hanks in black face will be the black Tom hanks. TROPIC THUNDER: the brockhampton story coming to theaters this fall
Joba
*Odd Future kicks out Tyler The Creator
Chuck Cannon BH minus Ameer is basically OF without Tyler or Earl
Chuck Cannon boi Tyler kicked out Odd Future
Tyler rapped about bad shit but he's never been accused of seriously doing anything like that. Saying this is acting like the only evidence against Ameer is that he rapped bad shit
Chuck Cannon nah more like kicking out earl
nah that would be kevin
I was at the show at Boston calling yesterday where they let the beat ride on Ameers verse and Kevin started crying at one point during the set and joba hugged him but then also broke down in tears. Really heart breaking to see them so upset.
I saw them yesterday at Boston calling and it was weird not seeing him perform
end of an era
Sarah Crowley a fucking awesome one
DAMN. He had some of the best bars on the albums.
Edit: Still doesn't excuse the seriousness of these accusations.
I wish I had more info though
7 out of ten
You could have tried a little bit harder to hide your homophobia. like just a bit
I mean i dont know if they are into you, but respect if they are. Hope you find a wonderful gay dude to fuck with.
ok that there is less variety is fair. that is fair. But there might be a new member. they might branch out. they might adapt. well see. But they had to kick him. They said that new stuff came out. it has to be bad, like worse than what has come out. (and some of that is pretty bad). Its a shame, i like his verse on teeth but hey what can you do. the group is consistent
Same thing happened with Secret Circle
And EVEN having kicked out one of their members, iridescence SLAPS
This doesn’t make sense. Why even criticize a member for previous emotional abuse if you aren’t going to support their transformation into a better citizen? Obviously he was remorseful and clearly confessed to all his wrongs in his lyrics, what’s the point of only making his life worse when it won’t even help change him? It’s just ruining a career without sufficient evidence, but more importantly, discouraging any change that he attempted to make.
My thoughts exactly.
Missing In Action the emotional abuse could've been towards brockhampton as well, but they are saying this is because of his actions, as if they're referring to the things he was accused for.
There is something we don't know, I think. That part about 'he lied to us' is especially suspect.
Idk maybe because sexual assault is wrong an Like BH said them selves they have no tolerance for it
PR23FLY G it was sexual abuse not assault, they sound similar but much different
How are they going to perform now?? Will I not be able to ever hear HEAT live again??
Dan Hermanson oh shit your right
Damni forgot about Heat. Wont sound the same now tbh
at least you got to hear heat live😭😭 i was going to see them this summer but i guess..
Oh fuck me dude that’s gonna suck
Dan Hermanson *FRICK* man
This whole situation is still a bummer, all around.
Well, I guess I'm glad I saw them this weekend
The year is 2030, everyone is now cancelled due to emotional abuse allegations
What the fuck even is "emotional abuse"? I'm sure there are a lot of artists out there who have "emotionally abused" people and acted like pricks but we still appreciate their work.
If you got a problem with me, try some other guy
I let you know I'm a dog, I ate the cat alive
But really though, I'm alone cause I don't stick around
And yes, I know it's my fault, so put your finger down
- [Verse 4: Ameer Vann]
Robin Holm which track?
Peanut Butter Pikachu JOHNNY
Right on... dehumanizing the culprit is unethical in itself.
so many songs with so many lines spilling out the details. guess the "fans" never paid attention.
Fuck
Literally just saw them at Boston Calling yesterday, which I guess is the last show for a while now. That sucks.
This is crazy I just saw them perform yesterday at boston calling
I’m so sad... Ameer was one of my favorite members, i was shocked when i heard the allegations, so disappointed. Nevertheless i think their decision was the best one they could’ve made.
Victor Campuzano not give him a chance to change? Are we now going to kick everyone out, fire them, cast them out into the open? Welcome to 2018
Marco Avalos they didn’t all abuse women
nigga did you even hear his lyrics
Victor Campuzano no it wasn’t. He didn’t even do anythign
Nicky Lick I know that, I’m talking about people in general. I would understand if it was a rapist or a molester.
I personally don't want to count the minor allegations as how Ameer used to live in texas where the age of consent is 17. He states in his tweet when apologizing "Throughout the past 3 years I've been working hard to reflect on myself and seek out help." And hes 21 now (soon to be 22) Which means he was 18/19. Which to me was a time for him to START maturing, he only started reaching that age. As for the Emotional and Sexual Abuse, he has talked about how he has done wrong in songs, as a bh fan, its not news that he was deceiving as a boyfriend.
Scorched Quantam Mental abuse can be walked away from. The white knights and stans on twitter are just jumping on the bandwagon
What I hate about the Stans are how they just assumed the allegations to be true. All she did was tweet out a story about this and that. Everyone believed it and the pressure came onto BH. I know Ameer has talked about dealing with emotionally abusing his ex in songs before and even seeking help. But no one will obviously give Ameer a chance to prove that he has changed.
I think there is something more to it we aren't aware of.
It would help if there was actual proof or evidence to ameer even treating her wrong, in my opinion. It would be alot more believable if there was photos or something. But it's just really hard to believe that there isnt even a court case being filed against him. Instead the girl took it to twitter because she knows the BH stans are just going to attack because they like to grab on to any information (wrong or right) because they got nothing better to do.
Scorched Quantam Or perhaps there is evidence, and the band doesn't see it prudent to release it to us. It's really none of our business.
thank you
Tabby no, thank you tabby
You've disappointed me on this one, bro...
Torben no one cares
@@torben7424 what would you expect? Tabby's thankfully got his head on his shoulders
Cute
