End It frontman breaks silence on controversy of battle with man dressed as banana

End It frontman Akil Godsey has spoken out for the first time since the viral “banana man” incident at one of the band’s recent shows.

The Baltimore hardcore band were playing at Lithuanian House in Toronto on June 5 when Godsey singled out a fan in the crowd who was wearing a banana costume.

In footage shared from the night, Godsey called the fan to the front and accused him of seeking attention. He then offered the band’s setlist to anyone who would “strip the banana”, after which members of the crowd removed the costume.
