The accusation comes next. Quilly student Eothen “Egon” called Alapatt for being “the eagle of culture” and stealing the rhyme book for DOOM. “We were hoping after DOOM moved to Egon that he would do the right thing and return the books to the family, but he continued to ignore these requests,” DeMille said in a statement obtained by TMZ. “Unfortunately, Egon isn’t the only ex-partner who misuses resemblance, art, and life work at DOOM.” Alapatt, who owns Now-Again Records, is a former business partner of DOOM and Madlib. Coyle criticized Egon on social media, last week, describing any friendship between the CEO and DOOM as charade. “This is a non-black person who routinely exploits and flaunts black artists,” he wrote in a post before listing several of his crimes. He added, “MF DOOM ran this guy’s wedding for free, but later stopped swinging with him due to his diabolical ways. Someone again asked Egon why he stole MF DOOM’s rhyme book, he blocked me. The era of the eagle culture is over.” death died On October 31, 2020, but it was not announced until Jasmine announced it on December 31, 2020. The cause of death was not revealed.
