"Allegedly" (Kill Your Heroes) is about what happens when admiration turns into blind loyalty — and who gets protected when talent is treated as moral exemption.
This song isn’t comfortable.
It isn’t nostalgic.
And it isn’t interested in preserving anyone’s legacy.
“Allegedly (Kill Your Heroes)” is a confrontational protest track about hero worship, power, and the cultural habit of excusing abuse when it comes from “great men.”
Every public figure referenced in this song has been the subject of widely reported allegations, court cases, sworn testimony, or documented journalism. This is commentary on public record, culture, and accountability — not rumor, fantasy, or character assassination.
The title “Allegedly” isn’t a shield.
It’s a challenge.
If something here makes you angry, defensive, or uncomfortable, ask yourself why.
This song is about:
The myth of the untouchable artist
The way fame protects predators
The excuse of “it was a different time”
The harm caused when talent becomes a moral exemption
The responsibility of audiences who keep buying tickets anyway
It’s also about hypocrisy — including my own.
I don’t present myself as a hero, a role model, or a good person. I’m flawed, aware of my past, and unwilling to pretend otherwise. If we’re willing to put people on pedestals, we should be just as willing to tear those pedestals down when the truth doesn’t match the legend.
Kill your heroes.
Interrogate your icons.
Stop confusing influence with innocence.
If you’re unsure about any claim made in this song, don’t take my word for it. You have the same access to information I do. Look it up. Read the court records. Read the reporting. Decide for yourself.
