DOOM Admits To Hiring Impersonators, Defends Himself

Published Apr 15, 2009

Long before he redeemed himself with his excellent new album,, mysterious rapper DOOM was accused of hiring actors to lip-sync his songs at shows, a prospect that naturally offended his many fans. In a recent interview with HipHopDX , DOOM not only admits to hiring actors but also defends himself."I liken it to this: I'm a director as well as a writer," he said. "I choose different characters, I choose their direction and where I want to put them. So who I choose to put as the character is up to me. The character that I hired, he got paid for it. There's no impostor."He goes on to say that when fans go to his shows, they shouldn't expect to see the actual DOOM:We don't imagine this will bode well for DOOM's ticket sales.
