Everybody in this fandom, as well as other fandoms who like stanning stuff in general, have been talking about it for the past few weeks. Let’s break things down, explain and call out, shall we ?

Disclaimer : this is an opinion based on good faith, I do not pretend to know all the facts or truth, this is a commentary and explanatory article and should be read as such. This is in no way a witch hunt or a call for bullying.

Trigger warning : we’re going to expose and explain evil doings and racist stuff.

Alright. So, first, let’s listen to a “nice” piece of music, shall we… Here is the culprit :

The most naive and easily “whooooshed” ones might ask “What about it ? Right ? Just a nonsensical joke made by a rich guy who likes to smoke weeds with Youtubers ?

Well, listen to it closely. This auto-tune makes it unclear, huh…

At first we were all wondering : “What is going on ?”, “Are we hallucinating ?”, “Are you hearing this ?”, “How could it be possible ?”. We didn’t say much.

As always, when you ignore hateful people, they keep posting until everybody is upset and answer back.

For those who have no idea of what’s going on, you need to read this (like, all of it), in order to fully understand the context, as the context does indeed matter : reddit.com/r/melvinmelfy . This is the subreddit for the sip Melvin.

A sip is like a ship, but different. SIP means “Support Inlove People”, we’re supporting Melina J and Calvin Vail (Leafyishere) as a couple. Mel(ina)+(Cal)vin=Melvin. Right, here it is not about Leafy, who quit Youtube 2 years ago as he couldn’t stand the constant harassment. Everything is detailed in the subreddit. (While Melvin, the sip, was not confirmed, this is no fiction, everything has sadly happened as described). So, here’s for the background.

Now, let’s listen to another song, that we like :

What about this song ? Well, it’s a good example that illustrates what is going on here. “If you seek Amy” is just the polite and punny way of saying “F U C K me”, which is a well known pun…

Right, are you still being whoooshed by the previous song ? If English is a foreign language to you, it might be difficult to grasp. There are LOTS of songs using puns, Mélina herself uses puns and stuff in her lyrics as well.

So, trigger warning : hateful and racist stuff explained/exposed :

RIP Harambe could really stand for “A rapey Harambe” or even “Arab” pronounce “with hey” at the end to sound French, just like the silly joke of adding “a” at the end of words to make them sound “Spanish” and in order to make it rhyme. Racist people from certain country, they don’t really know what “Arab” means and think it means “Muslim”. Which, for some reason, has been emphasized in all the hateful things posted on social media these past few days. Also, when searching for the guy, his origins and religion are detailed everywhere, but we’re still trying to find a source that details which programming languages he knows though…and he’s a professional coder, so… You can sense the bad stuff here. The angle. All that is posted this week is about this, even.

Anyway, Harambe is originally a meme about a gorilla who died in a zoo. I recall it happened around the time Mélina started to be sipped with Leafy. And I recall some nasty people were using this in a very derogatory and racist way, towards Leafy as well.

Gorillas and monkeys are sometimes used by racist people as slur. We have sadly witnessed too many times in the past, racist people making monkey noises towards black footballers during games.

So, the lyrics : “sipping on some Bombay.” What is Bombay ? It’s alcohol, it’s gin, which is interesting, as Melina’s last name is “Jin”, which sounds like “gin” and has been joked about several times, even by Mélina herself. “Sipping” has 2 meanings (or maybe more). There is probably another pun here, baby and bomb, as in French as well as in English, “a bomb” means “a hot girl”.

Then “Smoking on some strong” (it’s what the lyrics video says, but it doesn’t make sense, it’s not a sentence), but we are all hearing “strong girl”. You tell us… What are you hearing here ???

“In the zoo”….

So, what about it ? Is that a bit farfetched ? The context is key.

First, check who has been rumored to be Mélina’s ex-boyfriend for years by anonymous people : Karim Jawed, who this fandom has been nicknaming “Karim from the zoo” for at least 1 year.

We used to nickname him Waldo before, as everybody had been wondering who Mélina’s ex-bf was since they started to post stuff in 2012-2013, and everybody thought they finally “found Waldo”. This nickname has been changed to “Karim from the zoo” later, since “Waldo” is a copyrighted brand. This nickname comes from the fact Karim Jawed recorded his video in a zoo, in front of the elephants.

Youtube has been nicknamed “the zoo” for quite a while, also. Even by Mélina herself, in lyrics of a song, when talking about “checking on the zoo, same old same old”, as she’s talking about how she was still being harassed by some youtubers she doesn’t know and have never met, even if they claim otherwise !

This is the kind of things that were posted since 2012 or 2013 on Tumblr and other websites, which started this rumor :

Some anonymous people, who we believe are linked to some company, have been posting this kind of things and other doxxing. Hinting about Mélina’s ex, who she was with in San Francisco. Mélina debunked rumors. According to info we gathered, her ex is Ryan, not Karim from the zoo.

Tumblr later deleted the whole Mélina J tag, when they learned that Mélina was coding/making her own social media website, Meovely, which didn’t launch for various reasons that Mélina explained. She was harassed. And the SSL certificate of the website got ruined at some point. Anyway, the main reason of it not launching seems to be complicated copyright matters.

Some other stuff, hints, passive aggressive diss/hints, were posted on Melina’s tag, or even on the Melvin tag and the Leafyishere’s tag !!! About her ex !!!! Who according to what Mélina said, is not even her ex. Some say Mélina only denied because they don’t want it to be public, and those anonymous harassers want it to be public. Others believe Mélina denied simply because he is not her ex.

These anonymous people have been posting things about this rumor from times to times since 2013. This year though, is insane. The original rumor was simple : claiming they’re exes. Now this year is different. Those people keep claiming nasty stuff.

Mélina went to San Francisco (and other places in California) when she was 18. People have been claiming bad things recently, because of this. Even going as far as claiming Mélina was too young to be actually consenting. Which is delirious ! We keep reading this type of stuff on Reddit (not about Mélina, about age in general), some people keep saying this type of things. Now, most of this fandom is from Europe. Mélina is French. The guy is German. Mélina was 18 and supposedly she never even met the guy. So, there is not problem here. Mélina even debunked things like these before. However, those hateful harassers keep posting about it.

The weirdest thing is those people really want the rumor to be seen and believed by everybody, not just the fandom. Mélina J released a song in German on the 21st of April (was available on the 17th on their website), the remix will be released on the 28th. Those people keep claiming the song is about Karim from the zoo, when it’s obviously NOT, and they lie about stuff and dates. It’s been called out, not just by this fandom, see here (screenshot from r/youtube, a topic about his first video, I believe none of these users are from the fandom) :

Now this is weird, as a few day before that, this fandom have been talking about his previous videos that we all would have wanted to watch, but are not available anymore, not even on the Waybackmachine. We also often have joked about the fact Youtube was launched on Saint Valentine’s day in 2005, and was supposed to be a dating app, like Tinder, but with videos. (Source : Wikipedia). How would a website launch in February but then nobody posts so the admin posts a video himself 2 months later ? It doesn’t make sense.

So, them claiming Mélina picked this date to release her song because of him is really not adding up, and is a pure lie. Those people really want it to make it look like not only they’re exes, but still seeing each other. Mélina is with someone else. We don’t know about Karim from the zoo, didn’t find any info, and it’s none of our business, but we’re afraid those people would be trying to break he and his wife/gf up, like they’ve been doing to Mélina before and to other people as well.

Important side note about this screenshot : there is a very evil person who photoshopped hardcore NSFW pictures of a 15 year old girl and then made deepfakes of her and Leafy, the guy who posted those pics works for either the MCN, advertisers or Youtube and keeps calling everybody “my dude”, “my children” or stuff like that. When he posted this type of pictures on Leafy’s Twitter account (as the MCN is in charge and can post anything on their talents accounts), it was late December 2016, and this guy captioned it “Happy Easter, my children”. Easter. In December. Now, we’re curious. What about Easter ? Why are they doing this around Easter this year ? There seems to be some Easter egg we’re missing here ? Of course, around December 2016, they were doing a bunch of nasty things to try and break Melvin up and make Leafy look like a pedo. He kept saying he is not with that girl, who was 15 back then. Keemstar previously had made an interview with a girl named Wiitney Wiinsconsin, who was 17 back then, and had her claim she had slept with Leafy. When she was underage. Which was of course not true. Those people keep doing the same thing over and over again. We’ll go back to Keemstar in a minute.

Stuff that have been posted on r/youtube, on the topic about Karim from the zoo, his first video. The overall comments were indeed weird… There are always comments hinting about things. Those people are not confrontational, they post hints and hypocrite stuff that can be denied. Here they were answering to the fact Youtube is 14 year old… We reported, most got deleted.

There are a bunch of these, not just on Reddit.

It’s not 1 or 2 comments from times to times, it’s A LOT of them, always about the same topic and on stuff about him.

Back when this fandom was still nicknaming him “Waldo”, this was posted. Given the context and timing, we defo believe it was hinting at him :

Given some stuff that were posted about him, and the fact he was called “not reasonable” on r/youtube back then, we defo think some people have beef with him or don’t like him. Some people don’t like competition also. We didn’t find any info. And this fandom is literally begging Valleywag or Gawker to come back. We didn’t find much about him in their past articles either. This is why everybody is talking about this so much. So many question, too few answers.

Now, very bad (and defamatory) things like these keep being posted all over the internet, youtube, blogs, forums. Here’s an example. Those people always do things in such a way it’s difficult to prove it’s harassment. It’s snarky, finessing. 1 post alone might seem like “we’re overthinking”, but adding all of those together makes you just understand really what is going on.

Now, let’s talk about who. The song. Elon Musk, ex Microsoft employee, co founder of Paypal…for which Karim Jawed used to work and coded anti-fraud system. (Source : Wikipedia). They know each other. Upon finding out about this, everybody freaked out. And lots believe he’d know if Karim from the zoo is Mélina’s ex.

Before this song was released, there were people telling us to check Elon Musk on Twitter. Those people will always tell you which youtube video or streamer to watch, when those youtubers or streamers have “a message” or a diss about Mélina or Leafy. Been said and proven so many times. Check “leafyishere” search results on Twitter (on the website, without the #), you’ll see. You’ll witness live what is going on and how they’re doing their nasty deeds. Anyway, it is no coincidence and this is why we all checked this song : because we were told to by anons on Twitter.

We don’t know much about this guy, just what was said about him in Valleywag, which was kind of funny trolling about people from Sillicon Valley.

We noticed something very fishy is going on. We have seen comments on Youtube claiming it’s not his voice in the song. We don’t know tbh, nobody can tell with the autotune. We’ve witnessed crazy stuff before, which included impersonation, so. We all have questions and we should all remain cautious here. We’ll stick to facts without drawing conclusions.

Questions everybody are wondering are : Is that actually him singing ? If it is, who wrote the lyrics ? Does he understand the lyrics ? Was it a paid advert ? Do the brand know what is going on ? Did he know who it was about ? If yes, why ? Did he have beef with Karim Jawed, who used to work for his company ? If no, well, we can guess who is behind this… Why ? Why do they want everybody to believe Karim from the zoo is Mélina’s ex ? Is that in order to scapegoat them, as Mélina said before ? Is there a witch hunt going on ? Someone obviously don’t like Karim from the zoo, who and why ? What is he working on now ? Does he code for Linux ? What is going on ?

Elon Musk seems to be associated with the group of people (Keemstar and his crew + the UK ones) who harassed Mélina and Leafy for years. He made youtube videos with them.

It’s not the first time we believe a song is dissing, kind of, Mélina.

Mélina said before that she only writes lyrics for Cymellia, which she owns and founded, she doesn’t write/ghostwrite for anyone else. Those people tried to accuse her of ghostwriting nasty dissing songs before, when it’s absolutely not true. There are lots of scapegoating and false accusations going around, that’s why we need to be cautious.

Apart from Mélina, there is someone else who is known for using lots of puns, double entendres and stuff in their lyrics. But again, because those lyrics sound like something they would write, doesn’t mean they are the one who wrote them. We have literally 0 proof of anything here and shouldn’t jump to conclusions.

According to a video about how Elon Musk met his gf, he and her both like puns and stuff. Which, well, doesn’t prove a thing, but it makes us think he would figure puns and double entendres.

The fact he is associated with Keemstar and all the group though. Something fishy is obviously going on at Youtube/Google, we want and NEED Valleywag to come back and report. We have the right to know what is going on. Who is connected to whom (work, friendship), who has feud with whom. We have the right to be informed !

This is basically it. The reason why people are mad. There are other stuff posted on social media, forums and blogs that are way too racist and hateful, so no screenshot here. Those ones don’t leave any doubt about the meaning and intent (racist stuff), though. Please report to the websites if you stumble on anything like that.

The fact they’re doing the same nasty things they’ve done to Leafy, that they ruined Melvin for us, have everybody even more upset. This is bad and this type of stuff have been going on for way too long.

We just want to focus on cute stuff, happy stuff. We shouldn’t stumble on sleazy content all the time ! It’s really all the time. They flood everything with their sleazy stuff, post it on our tags. Turning Melvin into something really bad and upsetting, turning this rumor which was not a big deal to begin with, into something bad as well. Nobody wants this. This is so unwelcome.
