Zulu’s current tour of Latin America has come to an abrupt end as the promoter has pulled the plug on the remaining dates on the run in light of recent abuse allegations against singer Anaiah Rasheed Muhammad.A person claiming to be the singer’s partner and roommate identified in her posting as Simpson shared a detailed account of a pattern of physical abuse and harassment she and others had allegedly endured from the singer. Muhammad quickly followed with his own statement “categorically deny[ing]” ever engaging in any form of physical violence and later added, “I want to make it absolutely clear that I have never engaged in any form of coercion, manipulation or isolation toward this individual.”The band’s former drummer, Don Brown, also weighed in on the conflict insinuating in his Instagram Stories that one of the reasons he no longer plays with the band was due to the behavior of Muhammad shared by Simpson in her social media post.READ MORE: Rock + Metal Bands Touring in 2025Now the promoter for Zulu’s tour has issued a statement of their own canceling the four remaining stops on the band’s current Latin America tour.What Promoters New Direction Productions Said About Canceling Zulu’s Tour DatesNew Direction Productions reveals that amidst the ongoing back-and-forth online between Simpson and Muhammad, Zulu were allowed to go on and play at the NDP Fest in Sao Paolo on March 8.
