I'm not in jail. I wasn't even given a single day's sentence (it's public record, look it up).
I've been out spectering amongst you all just getting on with things this whole time.
But since it's been five years, think it's time to stick my neck out.
First, I want to apologise to fans of my music and particularly the people who promoted it, I am deeply sorry that I ruined something you enjoyed and were unfortunately associated with. And to the artists who produced derivative works, tough shit you second-rate clowns. Kidding, I am truly sorry for tainting your work with this radioactive malfeasance, that was obviously not what I intended. But, as a genre wanes, there's a good opportunity to innovate and lead the charge.
I would say la mort de l'artiste but I'm betting you've been persuaded otherwise. I listened to some weyheyhey for the first time in years, its pretty good and I'm quite proud of it. Sincerely... it's just some songs I made with no other intent than to excite and dance and to challenge myself. This is the most complete archive of my music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BshDGm0rhI I've discovered a bunch of breakcorey artists which I'd love to share here but I worry their reputation will be harmed by association.
Second, a thank you to the handful of friends who quietly kept in touch and entertained me with the wackier conspiracy theories concerning my past misdeeds. My eternal gratitude and love, guys.
I would like to register my disappointment in one or two close friends, you know who you are. Ten years of friendship count for nothing? My friendship wasn't conditional btw, I would've been there for you no matter what.
If you should ever find yourself in a similar situation I hope you have a friend willing to at least talk and hear what you have to say.
Third, no, I will never return to breakcore lol I was over it by 2014. Even if I wanted to, I bought a one-way ticket. Can't exactly revoke the stigma I have with a dazzling new sample pack. Maybe in Japan? Haha.
Allow me to correct the record on a few things:
- I did not produce csam/indecent materials EVER jfc I did nothing of the sort ("make" in legalese does not mean what you think it means)
- I have never abused anybody or been inappropriate with anyone < 18. I certainly wasn't a sleezy sex tourist out in Asia. I didn't even get a massage!
- There is no "restraining order" from a previous relationship. That narrative is utterly unhinged and easily falsifiable. So dumb.
- I was not "trafficking" (yeah I gave up software and music to pursue my true calling of becoming a Congolese Warlord)
- I was not on the run. Was unaware I'd been charged during my absence from the UK. But thanks for making me sound cool.
- I did not hide secret messages in my song titles for godsake
- I did not commit any crimes in Asia. I am welcome to return to Thailand at any time
- I was not extradited or even deported from Thailand, they just cancelled my visa necessitating a flight home
- Majority of stuff you've read about me is fabricated or wild conjecture. Including from Thai immigration who take any opportunity to overstate the gravity of a situation they've just dealt with.
- But as to my ex "friends"; why would anyone need to embelish a story with imagination when the truth alone is a reputational death sentence. Why? Curious! Well I know why, I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.
- Also puzzled to see people, whom I barely knew, claim they were a close friend (most affected!) then post cringe on the internet. Esteem/status low enough to sail in the wake of another's demise, very slick.
- Take a measure of the disgust, dismay and anger you have/had for me and divide by ten, that's likely more fitting - not that it means anything now
- I'm not an evil monster, please, you sound like a tabloid. Good people can do bad things and bad people can do good things. Stop with the binary thinking. Life and the people in it aren't characters in a fairy tale.
The good things I did across those years were just good things and nothing else. No sinister facade or masterplan.
I have a new life, new friends, new focus. 2019 was a pain and a waste of time but fortunatey caused no significant damage. I'd already said goodbye to music and my UK ass/ociates.
I started a business in 2018 which has grown beyond my wildest dreams in the last few years. I'm doing great and I've changed too. Moved on and loving life. I split my time between Portugal and Dubai. I like golf and my boat. I will never return to the UK and you won't hear from me again.
Feel free to hurl abuse or idk just be civil, I will answer your questions: recyclebin@weyheyhey.uk
A polite warning. If you've been grossly exaggerating or outright lying to mischaracterise me personally or the chain of events before/after 2019 I suggest you cease that immediately.
I'll leave you with this. The human condition needs redemption, if there is no path to redemption either through deeds, god, friends or family then we are condemning society to death row.
Sayonara.
