Otep Shamaya and Amerakin Overdose frontman Cody Perez have been partaking in some social media beef as of late. Perez had launched into a series of rants against Shamaya for her alleged mistreatment of opening acts and negative comments she is said to have made of local bands. Perez took offense to the matter, offering:
?????? you are a total joke. Asshat. How about you tell people some more how great you are and how local bands don't matter?! You suck! ????

@otepofficial It's weird you'd claim my vocalist @Cody_Perez is homophobic… Our last bassist ( @brandonsillspdx ) is gay… You're petty.

Otep herself recently came under fire for ejecting The Convalescence from her tour with statements from both camps essentially resulting in a he said/she said scenario. In her defense she has stated that a statement from the venue is forthcoming.
