BigHit releases an apology for Suga's use of Jim Jones sample on his mixtape

[mzgrottesca]

This is a follow up to our previous post that you can read hereFor context, BTS member Suga (Min Yoongi) recently released his long-awaited second mixtape last week. The mixtape was met with mostly positive reception until it came to people's attention that a sample used on the track What Do You Think was actually from one of infamous cult leader

This weak as fuck apology and letting another producer (a good friend of his btw) take the blame. This ain't it. How can they possibly try to lie through their teeth like this when the KOMCA credits and this exist:

[slaygalthessily]

Fans erased his name from the credits on wiki. We’re.. a lot of people from multiple fandoms were shocked.

[carmesim]

I'm not surprised in the least, they'll do anything to shield him and they're pros at gaslighting. What makes him using that fucking JJ sample even more distasteful is the way so many BTS fans behave exactly like a cult.

[slaygalthessily]

My firmest belief is that their over reaction sometimes causes more waves than it would if they’d just shut up and keep it to the DMs. They spend hours tweeting about it and them blame it on NCTzens and Monbebe. They said some distasteful stuff last night and kissed Shawols off. They burn so many bridges than wonder why no one helps them or congratulates them when they win stuff...

Letting the company apologize for him and absolve Suga himself of any blame is so insincere. This did undo all the excuses their fans were making though, can't believe all the nonsense they were spouting. I feel for the young black woman who was doxxed for reposting the ONTD post on Twitter sfm.

[ohmylol]

What??? A black woman was doxxed over this? Wtf is wrong with those fans ??

[bleuvelvet]

Yeah, the last post about this ended up on r/kpop so pink_romantics posted a screenshot and it spread across Twitter. Both her and thepophub have had their personal info and pictures spread for mentioning this, it's disturbing. Their excuse seems to be that they've both stoked the flames and proven they're antis by posting about BTS's fuckups before so anything's fair game.

OMG D:

people are too sensitive about their faves getting dragged! you don't even know your faves on a personal level!

[tatertoot]

so now someone else produced the song? Can't even own up to it. I've noticed that it's always Big Hit apologizing and not BTS themselves when something happens.

According to army, through rapping "I got a big house big car big ring, bring anything over, I’ll give it to you with my black card," Yoongi was simultaneously critiquing white supremacy, anti-Korean racism, internet hiveminds, and dictatorships. Damn, he really is a genius. /s

Even my boy Seokjin, who has never really had any scandals, showed his ass recently when he basically implied being famous is worse than being homeless lmao I'm just so disappointed in them all, fame really does change people, huh?

[black_swan87]

Lol what?

[mzgrottesca]

yep, he's a damn dumbass lmao

[thebloomroom]

fans of this group are amongst the most deluded and insane ive ever interacted with, and i used to be an elf lol. ARMY is a straight up cult. Incapable of thinking for themselves, and their own spaces (twitter, r/bangtan) censor negative commentary and any independent discussion really that isnt praising these men up the ass. They’re bullied by their own fandom to stay in line and to spend their money wherever bighit tells them to. People have been doxxing and giving death threats to the people who originally brought this up, there is a ARMY blacklist of fans who dissented and didnt support this grown ass edgelord. And the sheer mental gymnastics of everyone twisting this into some Pro-Korea statement just for BH to come out and say it had no meaning, SHRIEK!!! 🤡 Can y’all not draw the lines and see what mess you’re apart of, especially international fans who are buying into all this bullshit? I know kpop is manufactured and sold in a way that promotes obsession but this is honestly fucking beyond. ARMY is what drove me out of giving

[crispycreamy]

The r/bangtan thread on his apology legit scares me. The amount of people saying he was set up by antis instead of just admitting he messed up is baffling.

[mzgrottesca]

I'm like 90% sure I got added to a new Army blacklist for tweeting about this (with HEAVILY censored thoughts btw, I went very easy on him). Since tweeting about it, I've been blocked by almost 40 new accounts LOL. They really are a cult.

[ydn1m]

How can you tell when you've been blocked? I posted two tweets about this incident on an unlocked account and I'm curious if any of them found me.
