Anaiah Muhammad, the singer of acclaimed L.A. hardcore punk band Zulu, has left the group following allegations of abuse by another artist. The accuser, Simpson, recounted traumatic experiences involving Muhammad, claiming instances of manipulation and physical violence. Muhammad has denied all allegations, asserting that he values non-violence and has never abused anyone. In response, Zulu announced a hiatus from performing, expressing solidarity with abuse victims and condemning mistreatment within communities. This situation raises important conversations about accountability and support for victims in the music industry.
I want to start by saying that I categorically deny ever engaging in any form of physical abuse.
The claims against me are not only untrue but also deeply damaging - to me, my loved ones, my band and those who have supported me throughout my life.
We stand in solidarity with all people who are victims of abuse, and condemn the mistreatment of those vulnerable in our communities.
Knowing something was deeply, deeply wrong, I began sharing my experience and feelings with people who may know of someone else harmed by Anaiah.
