Rising alternative rock/rap star YUNGBLUD has responded to the recent backlash he has faced for recently spending some time with Rammstein vocalist Till Lindemann. After sharing a photo on social media of that encounter in Perth, Australia last week, YUNGBLUD was hit with a wave of backlash online. Lindemann became an inherently divisive figure back in 2023 after a number of allegations of sexual misconduct and more were lodged against him and other members of German industrial metal legends in relation to the ‘Row 0’ backstage parties he had been allegedly be throwing around the band’s live shows.
German prosecutors would eventually go on to drop their investigation into the matter, while Lindemann went on to legally defend himself against the claims, suing a publication that ran an exposé on the matter which he disputed.
In an audio update shared on his social media recently, YUNGBLUD offered the following about the situation:
“I had absolutely no idea — obviously at the minute I’m meeting a lot of people every day without knowing fully who they are or what they’re about. And I can assure you, if I knew about any allegations, it would have been a completely different story. You all know what I stand for, always. I’ll be more for it in the future. I love you all.”
