According to Law&Crime, the concerned citizen came across Sullivan’s music and alerted the FBI when they heard the disturbing lyrics. Nine videos contained the alleged threats, and investigators said the videos “included racial statements about specific [ groups of people and Killing them, bombing churches associated with specific races.”
The videos also contained lyrics about Sullivan wanting to kill his grandmother, abusing children, bombing the Senate, and committing school shootings. Police searched his home and didn’t find any firearms or weapons. While speaking with police, Sullivan claimed he didn’t hate any groups mentioned in the songs and only portrayed a character he had used since he was 17.
