Who Shared the Details?
On January 11, user @thestartofluck shared details of the video on a social networking site, disclosing that Verbalase had reportedly spent approximately $50,000 on the creation of a Hazbin Hotel spinoff music video.
The video features a song titled “Hide Away,” with Charlie pursuing Verbalase until a nonconsensual encounter ensues. Rumors circulating on platforms like Reddit suggest that Verbalase, also known as Adym Steven Evans, faced financial distress following the creation of the animated music video.
A user on the r/youtubedrama subreddit, u/paisleypancake, claimed, “This apparently caused him and his YouTube channel to go completely bankrupt.”
Additionally, u/paisleypancake mentioned unverified claims that the video involved collaboration with a 15-year-old, though official sources have not confirmed this information.
Hazbin Hotel, created by Vivienne Medrano in 2019, is an animated musical comedy slated for release on Prime Video this month. The series centers around Charlie Morningstar’s quest to rehabilitate “Sinners” by establishing a hotel for their transformation into better individuals.
According to Reddit and various users, Verbalase drew inspiration from Charlie Morningstar for his music video.
Verbalase Facing Backlash
Verbalase, known for the Cartoon Beatbox Battles series, where he combines beatboxing, rapping, singing, and sound effects to remix popular songs and cartoon themes, now faces backlash not only for the video but also for alleged queerphobic and homophobic remarks.
User @Deathraptor6 shared screenshots of Verbalase expressing potentially queerphobic views, criticizing discussions about gender and homos*xuality. The comments touched on issues like gender identity in sports and attracted criticism from the online community.
Despite the uproar on the internet, Verbalase has yet to address the video publicly. The situation has led to widespread online trolling of the YouTuber, with users sharing humorous memes to express their reactions.
