The Sleeping With Sirens vocalist took to Twitter to voice his concerns about artists who glorify drug use within their music.

These new artists coming up in a scene that I’ve seen help so many people.. glorifying drug use need to stop — Kellin Quinn (@Kellinquinn) December 7, 2018

Especially when a majority of these new artists don’t do the drugs they include in their lyrics.. — Kellin Quinn (@Kellinquinn) December 7, 2018

Chase Atlantic and Sleeping With Sirens have toured together in the past, and while Quinn doesn’t make a direct reference to the band, fans believe that the criticism is directed at Chase Atlantic and their new song ‘Like a Rockstar’.

When asked by a fan, Quinn explained that he was not referencing Chase Atlantic. He explains that the tweets are directed toward ‘current artists’.

I didn’t say anything about chase Atlantic lol.. I’m talking about “current” artists.. if you think that it refers to a specific artist.. then that’s on you.. — Kellin Quinn (@Kellinquinn) December 7, 2018

However, the lyrics of Chase Atlantic’s new song make specific reference to narcotics and drug use stating:

“I’ve been rolling off that 8-1, don’t try this Narcotics in my bloodstream, I don’t feel a damn thing”

The chorus of ‘Like a Rockstar’ directly promotes the use of drugs stating,

“Take drugs, stay high View the fucking earth from the outside, yeah Pop pills through the day time And if I die tell my mumma that I died like a rockstar”

The song also promotes drug use as being a part of the ‘rockstar lifestyle’. The lyrics read,

“Tell ’em that I died like a rockstar Tell ’em I got high like a rockstar”

Quinn argues that current artists are promoting drug use in a scene that has helped so many individuals overcome addiction.

Kids listen and look up to you.. we don’t need anyone else overdosing.. stop that shit.. you know who you are — Kellin Quinn (@Kellinquinn) December 7, 2018
