Ameer Vann is Out of BROCKHAMPTON

The founding member has been kicked out of the group following sexual misconduct allegations.

Hip-hop boyband BROCKHAMPTON have announced that founding member Ameer Vann has been removed from the group. This announcement comes a fortnight after Vann was accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women. In a statement shared to Twitter, the band wrote “Ameer is no longer in BROCKHAMPTON. We want to sincerely apologize to the victims affected by Ameer’s actions…We do not tolerate abuse of any kind. This is not a solution to their suffering, but we hope this is a step in the right direction.”
