Earlier this week, the Los Angeles hardcore band Zulu performed in São Paolo without frontman Anaiah Muhammad. They made no mention of Muhammad’s absence, but there was a huge, obvious reason for it. Shortly before that show, Muhammad’s ex-partner, the singer-songwriter Simpson, accused Muhammad of physical and psychological abuse. Muhammad put out a statement denying the allegations, and Zulu cancelled their next two shows. Now, the band has posted a statement announcing that they are no longer working with Muhammad and that the band, which started off as Muhammad’s solo project, is now “on pause.”
