Brainfeeder artist The Gaslamp Killer (GLK), a co-founder of Los Angeles’ Low End Theory, was recently accused of raping two women back in 2013. In light of the accusations, Low End Theory cut ties with GLK. Although one of the underground club’s fellow co-founders, Flying Lotus, seemed to stand in solidarity with the fallen musician, setting off a firestorm of criticism.
During his set at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Saturday night (October 14), FlyLo ended his set with a GLK song after saying, “The internet is a fuckin’ liar. Ain’t nobody judge and jury but the fuckin’ law, okay? … Thank you guys so much for coming, let truth and justice have its day.”
FlyLo, who runs Brainfeeder, appeared to be standing up for his longtime friend and collaborator, but he says there was more to the video that’s circulating online.
“There was a lot longer of a speech,” FlyLo tells HipHopDX. “It would be awesome to show the whole video. I came at it from a humble place.”
He adds, “I wanted to sincerely apologize for my comments at my show. I realize they were insensitive. This is a tough time for all of us, as men and women. I’m having trouble finding my voice in all of this. I am truly heartbroken. My stage has always been a place for what’s in my heart until now. I feel as internet wielding people we have to learn to give each other space to feel, to honor each other’s reactions and experiences without bullying. I care about this community and its impact so much.”
Although his full performance is currently unavailable for free online, it looks like a stream of the event can be accessed here.
lmao denaun stated facts and yall deleted his comment. what happened to free speech? like he said: not everyone that claims to be a victim is a victim .
You stay the F off our site and mind ur own bees-wax if you know what’s good for you.. motherfricker
And again another comment from somebody got deleted…
So FlyLo supports the Gaslamp R.apist now? Dumb move
what do you mean by “now”? he’s on his label and they’ve been friends for years lol
Any scumbag who gets his rocks off by drugging and r a p i n g girls deserves life in jail or death
Who the hell are these people?
If u play gta v then you’ll recognize both off the radio station
Post Malone looks like a hedgehog in transition. And who cares if you say let the court decide what’s going on. So many people have been found innocent after the fact. Then internet is insane. This dude can’t even say something from his heart on his own stage without having to apologize to the people of the “internet”… Just like Cam Newton last week. Just like Steve Martin. Just like Migos for the Katy Perry song. EVERYONE apologizing to stay in the good graces of everyone… WELL YOU CAN’T PLEASE EVERYONE. JUST SAY WHAT YOU FEEL AND IF THEY DON’T LIKE IT – KEEP IT MOVIN!!!!
U mad??……bitch, lmao.
Yeah, God forbid you give a guy you’ve known for over a decade the benefit of the doubt until he goes to court! As soon as somebody on Twitter makes an accusation we are all expected to join a lynch mob without evidence or proof needed.
Exactly
Wow DX, why you straight up stay deleting comments???
I don’t know why he bothered to say anything after that shitty statement they released that basically says they haven’t dealt with GLK for 5 years and no longer sell his music?! I think FlyLo just needs a headline…
