The controversial group dropped their new song on Friday November 1st, the video contains scenes of semi-nude women twerking and dancing in explicit styles. The song’s verse also irked many people as it promotes rape culture.
Ethic took to Twitter to issue a statement following public uproar over their song. The hip hop group stressed that they respect women and that their song is not aimed at promoting rape culture, as has been claimed.
“It has come to our attention that our latest single Tarimbo has stirred up mixed reactions and elicited various negative interpretations from different quarters. As recording artists, it is our sole duty to entertain our fans and NOT deploy our content to propagate hate against any person, most importantly women,” Ethic tweeted.
In another tweet, Ethic wrote;
“As artists, we are sons to our mothers, brothers to our sisters, uncles to our nieces and friends to our female friends and fans, and it is not in any way our intention to publicize violence or rape against these highly revered individuals in our community.”
Adding that;
“As Ethic Entertainment, we are truly remorseful for any dolor caused by the lyrics to our single, and for every single person that was triggered to a displeasing memory or emotion by it, receive our sincere apologies. Rest assured that no disrespect was intended.”
