As previously reported, End It recently faced backlash after turning a Toronto, ON crowd on a man wearing a banana costume. Now, vocalist Akil Godsey has officially addressed the controversy.
Godsey said the following:
“The funniest thing to come out of all this is people telling me they were disappointed in me, when the first song I ever wrote for this band is called ‘Give Up‘, which is where I instruct people to walk into the woods to commit suicide. You’ve obviously not been listening to the band, and I don’t know what the fuck you thought was going on over here. We’re in a, we’re a hardcore band. We do hardcore things. You don’t have to come over here. You don’t have to pay attention to me at fucking all.
Everyone in my life loves me very much. I’m very well taken care of. I do not need your attention or validation. I’ll be just fine. Hey, if the band got to quit, so be it. I guess I’ll go to work. I’m a fully functioning adult male. I’ll be just fine. There’s more to life than whatever the fuck you think is going on over here. You don’t even know what’s going on over here. We haven’t spoken in ages. You’re living off of assumptions. Don’t assume, my parents taught me that. But have fun with the life you’ve made for yourself.”
He also added:
“Thanks for the racism and death threats and dissertations. It’s all been very taxing. I’m gonna go raise my child now. Peace.”
