      True, but due to the history of family and personal issues he's also a little self-absorbed... From the get-go with questions about sexual assault and emotional abuse, he doesn't express sympathy or understanding for the women but focuses on how crushed he felt and how he wanted to make himself a better person. It's mature and admirable but there's not a strong sense of empathy for negatively affecting other people

      when he recited his whole SWAMP verse I was almost tearing up bro, no joke, I was like... "shit, this really is the same guy who was goofing around in BH and making all those amazing songs with his best friends". it just doesn't compute to me and I almost want to separate the two in my head because it seems nearly impossible that someone's life can change so drastically and that he could lose all of his friends and career in a hearbeat like that. shit's fucked up, honestly. for all parties involved, and especially for him.

    Only thing Sway missed bringing up is the whole situation about Ameer setting up one of Dom McLennon’s friends to be robbed (which is covered in one of Dom’s deleted tweets and in his verse on “DEARLY DEPARTED”).

      The peak quality of the fan base was during and shortly after the saturation trilogy. It felt so good being a part of the hype behind this group that was making amazing music, with members that bring different things to the group, not knowing 100 percent everyone that actually made a part of it, sort of had a mystery to it. The music was what brought everyone together to wanna follow this group.
      Then after all the ameer stuff happened, all these teenagers just started bandwagoning on the group and the fanbase just became almost the hip hop equivalent of kpop fans. Their behavior and how they "stan" is cringe at times. Whether they just wanted to support brockhampton after the accusations and removal of ameer, Kevin being openly gay, or liking the new music, it just didn't feel the same tbh. .It was gonna happen eventually but the SAT trilogy was peak fan base days.

      Remember Dom's verse on "Dearly Departed?" If the stuff Dom says in that verse is true, then Ameer is lying in this interview. Ameer keeps saying he's not trying to mend his relationships with other BH members because "those guys knew me the whole time," but Dom claims that Ameer had something to do with his friend getting robbed early in the band's existence, and that Ameer didn't tell him about this until the abuse allegations came out, which was after the entire Saturation trilogy blew up. One of them has to be lying about whether or not Ameer was honest with his band-mates.

      They were trying to make it look like that to Ameer, but his removal was inevitable. No one just says "you need to take a break" obviously the group was gonna develop w/o him in that break period so he obviously wasn't buying that bullshit. The reason why he left first is because no one wanted to talk about it. Its like your employer saying "we're gonna have to let you go" instead of "you're fired", you're obviously going to want to quit at that point

    I believe he still has a lot to learn. And I do understand the damage that he did to those victims. However I don't think its productive for anybody to not allow him to move on.
    At the end of the day, Whether we admit it or not, we all did our fair share of stuff that we are not proud of in our lives.
    I'm in no place to tell the victims how they should deal with this, but from my experience i can tell that honesty, empathy and forgiveness are the only way to heal.

    I feel disappointed for ever disrespecting this man’s career after all he’s the most relatable artist I’ve ever listened to, I feel his pain in his music and I feel his experiences or mentality are very similar in some ways to mine. This guy is a true inspiration to me and arguably one of the biggest compliments you can pay someone’s music is I see myself in the way you express yourself, I see you in the way I have expressed myself, now and in the past. I don’t think I have ever related more to a person, or to what that person’s saying so all I can do is thank you for that. Having time to reflect on things is good!

    This is crazy to hear because I was front row at Boston Calling for their set and just seeing how emotional the group all got on stage to the point that they broke down in tears and had to cancel the rest of the tour says a lot. A lot went on behind the scenes that fans don’t know about (including me), and we may not ever get the full story but I personally feel that sometimes the effects of cancel culture can also be just as toxic as the behaviors it doesn’t condone. I’m glad Ameer is working on himself and I appreciate knowing a little more of what happened that day from his perspective as a lot of fans have felt confused and let down since that day and of course when the whole situation unfolded and caused a huge divide. Thank you Sway for being a great interviewer and approaching these topics with grace and respecting the rest of the boys while giving Ameer a platform to give his side of the story.

      Rockwood .escapeplan Dom is primarily the one who will seemingly never forgive Ameer and from what’s been said that’s pretty understandable. That being said, Kevin, Matt, Merlyn and a few others were longtime friends of Ameer’s and it probably hurts them to lose connection with such a beloved figure in their lives so suddenly. I’m not speaking for them in any way but I can imagine it hurts them in some way to see him so disconnected from their circle of friends and I’d assume they’d at least attempt some sort of form of connection that they formerly had. Ameer looks like he’s grown from his experiences and seems genuinely remorseful over his past actions and seems like he’s wants to change from what he was in the past, and there’s a chance that some BH boys have noticed this and want to have at least a shade of compassion for a former great friend of theirs.
