Top Comments of this video!! :3
Brockhampton was always about calling out bullshit where ever it comes up - and that includes when it's bullshit from people you trust. It sucks, but it was 100% the right choice to let him go.
This isn't just about business or the label, it's about not being hypocrites.
Ameer is talented, and maybe one day when he's proven he can be a better person, that talent won't be wasted.

To be fair, the alligations really go against what brockhampton has built up to be, for example, Matt's verse on Junky is about respecting woman and clearly not what Ameer has done, (as explained in the video)
If they were to let Ameer stay in the group, it kind of throws of their whole message...

No Ameer= no grit, sappy music. Ameer to me was the only one in the group who actually seemed like he experienced life in the streets, he was the only one who had an element of believability in his verses. Even though Dom has some crazy bars and the other members can hold their own, none of the other members bring that aggressive energy besides Ameer

I don't know man, I think it's gonna be bitter to listen to them from now on. I agree that business wise this was the best step, but personally, I disagree with it - mostly because he has mentioned his past problems so many times, through songs, instagram, videos, twitter, what have you. He knows what he did was wrong and he really shows it. And of course it was. But nobody is being helped by this shitstorm - the victims will not heal just because he was kicked out of the group and he will not find and continue on a more positive path by being kicked out. There has to be more to it than we know, since they are willing to go this far - we have, have, to give people a chance to better themselves. He was a teen on drugs. He isn't anymore and he knows what he did was not acceptable at all. He was hiding from a past he regretted, its all over the lyrics from especially Bleach and Milk. My point is, he wants to be better. He has been better for a while. They should stand with him personally, but I get why they would do this for PR (or if there's more to it than we know as fans).
And I have to disagree, they will not get better from here. That's just not possible. Yeah, they're gonna have better production and bigger opportunities, but the soul of it is gone.... My main point being; They were a family. And he had the grit, the "realness", the edge of the group. He brought something no other band member had, a perspective from the streets. Now it's gone. Not blaming anyone but Ameer for that, by the way - they did what they felt was the best. But it's not the same anymore, every song from now on by "Brockhampton" is gonna miss "Ameer Vann" in the member list.

I don't think he got kicked out, I feel like it was his decision. Consider if he stayed, it would look bad on BH to their target audiences, and would create traction with their RCA label deal (Their label would get backlash for supporting an alleged artist). Look at that performance at Boston, when Joba and Kevin teared up, they didn't want to make the conclusion. So yeah Ameer probably understood he would hinder the success of BH, and left for the TEAM.
edit: whoever flagged my comment, understand this situation should be seen with an open perspective, and we shouldn't jump to conclusions on both sides of the debate.

I've already seen a lot of comments saying that he didn't do it....? Huh? Is this a thing? He himself apologized and cited a couple specific things. In Brockhampton's statement, they said, "We were lied to". You can argue that art and morality should be separate, you can argue that kicking him out was too harsh, but you can't argue that he hasn't done anything wrong
