JAKARTA - Australia's music group, The Wrypto, spoke up after drawing strong protests over a TikTok video content featuring them with Keli Holiday's Ecstasy' music setting.
The video, which has now been withdrawn, is said to have caused controversy because it featured Blue Wggle, one of The Wrong popular personnel, dancing behind Keli Holiday.
According to News.com.au, the video was taken after Blue Wggle and Holiday performed together on the TikTok Awards stage on November 26 bringing the song Dancing2.
However, the video that was the root cause of the problem used another song, namely Ecstasy, which has lyrics that are considered inappropriate. The reason is, The Wrypto is known as a music group that presents entertainment for children.
The lyrics that sparked the criticism read: "Hey girl, come on, dance with me / You and your pocket full of ecstasy (Hey girl, come on, dance to me / You and your pocket full of ecstasy)
Responding to the controversy, The Wrypto issued an official statement to The West Australian. The group, which formed in Sydney in 1991, confirmed that they did not support or justify drug use at all in any form.
