YouTuber Verbalase's prior comments resurface as he allegedly goes bankrupt after dropping explicit animated video

According to Fandom, Hazbin Hotel was created by Vivienne Medrano in 2019. The explicit animated musical comedy is expected to release this month on Prime Video. The series focuses on the protagonist Charlie Morningstar, who also goes by the moniker of the Princess of Hell. Her goal is to create a hotel that will rehabilitate “Sinners,” with the aim of teaching them to become better individuals in the society.

In the upcoming show, Charlie finds herself facing numerous obstacles, including suffering from overpopulation.

Reddit and X users claim that Verbalase was inspired to use Charlie Morningstar in his own music video. For those uninitiated, Verbalase is best known online for his Cartoon Beatbox Battles series. In the same, the Las Vegas-native combines beatboxing, rapping, singing and sound effects to create remixes of popular songs and cartoon theme songs.

Not only is he facing the internet’s wrath for creating the explicit video, but also for his alleged queerphobic and homophobic opinions. X user @Deathraptor6 shared screenshots of him allegedly saying:

“When I went to Disneyland in 2018… there was no preaching about gender and gay stuff, nothing it was literally a family friendly place.”

In another Discord comment, Evans said:

“That’s because even though they say the[y] identify as a female, they’re still 100% male, so their DNA and body structure are ging to be different than a female. So if you have a bulked up male competing in women’s Olympics just because he says he identifies as a female, how is that fair to biological women?”

The X user shared several other instances of Evans being queerphobic. Netizens can find the same under their account.
