Zulu officially "on pause"

zulu 25

Zulu have announced that they are officially putting the project on pause following the startling allegations against frontman Anaiah Rasheed Muhammad. Their vocalist has denied these allegations

The band's full statement:

We are aware of the allegations brought forth against Anaiah. We stand in solidarity with all people who are victims of abuse, and condemn the mistreatment of those vulnerable in our communities. Our hearts go out to anyone who has experienced any form of physical or emotional abuse, assault, or any other act that has caused harm and taken their agency away from them.

Other members of Zulu have separated ourselves from Anaiah and will no longer be working with or performing with him in any capacity.

We want to acknowledge the allegations were never disclosed to us prior, and we were immediately concerned reading the detailed account. We were aware there were unresolved issues between the parties involved, but not the nature of the allegations.

In regards to our previous drummer's posts, while he was filling in on tour with us he did not disclose knowledge of these allegations other than what we understood to be issues surrounding their relationship.

He ultimately did not play with us because of confusion over scheduling.

We understand that this has been extremely upsetting and disappointing to anyone who supported this band, it's message and what it's represented. Upon our return home we have withdrawn from scheduled performances and will be officially putting this project on pause.

Your fill in drummer knew what was going on, but you didn't?! Also, you believe the allegations, but what about the part about his band mates calling her to threaten her? Do you believe that part?!

Flatspot knew about this , but keeping quiet .

anonymous 22 hours ago

Hilariously blows up in their faces. I remember when one of the members was in the lambgoat comments saying "DIE MAD WHITE PEOPLE". I wonder if they still feel the same way after their own vocalist was the reason for their undoing. Shocking a person who prints ABOLISH WHITE HARDCORE on a t shirt for a scene with a mostly white audience is obnoxious and toxic enough to commit Zulu Level Domestic Abuse? Who could have predicted.

Blame white people

anonymous 17 hours ago

Flat Spot Records: The same shitty label that signed End It, whose vocalist literally called the vocalist of Oceano a nggr. Where's the "anti racist" crowd now?

This will somehow be blamed on RTL.

the fact that he wore those glasses and no one knew is crazy lol let me guess did he use they them too

anonymous 15 hours ago

hopefully this is the first of many cracks that destroys tiktok hardcore for good. All you newjacks out there, this is the average hc band for you. a bunch of scumbags behind the scenes placating their ignorant audience and putting up a front. Newsflash your favorite bands are likely guilty of way worse than just being a sex pest. Tourists take notes. This is your wake up call. Listen to actually good bands or find a new trend.

Great news!

anonymous 13 hours ago

So many fake ass bands around new york state just got put on notice.

anonymous 13 hours ago

I love how easy it is to topple a woke that's completely up their own asses. The mere mention of someone looking at another person funny and the whole inflated operation implodes. Too hilarious

anonymous 13 hours ago

I give this news a solid 9/10.

Hope they are gone for good. Keep Islam THE f*ck out of our culture.

Absolutely insane this totally dogsh!t band ever had fans. The covid boom era of hardcore is f*cking embarrassing and a total stain on it's history. Please end the rest of these mediocre bands ASAP.

anonymous 11 hours ago

Oh no! NOOOO guys I'm literally breaking down right now. I can't believe this lame no name band that 7 people listen to is "on pause" (not breaking up. Get that merch, baby) and I don't think I'm safe right now. No one cares. Zulu is poopoo

This band is a racist band. And only blew up because they are basically a novelty. Black power bullshit is just as backwards as white power bullshit. Christ is King.

Rick Ta Life here. I was approached by the Zulu guys for a new side project while the current band is on "pause." Look out for RTL & The Smoke Detector Chirpin' Kool-Aids out on Back Ta Basics Records!!!

GG from soul glo is next on the abuser list

anonymous 7 hours ago

Flatspot records is more devastated by the news of releasing music made by a Muslim. The abusing women thing they can absolutely overlook but Islam is a step too far.
