🔻THE ARTIST COMMUNITY SPEAKS.

This is not revenge. This is truth.

For years, David Hakopyan — under the banners of Toys of the Masses, Antenna the End, and The Apex Theory — received public trust, artistic collaboration, and nonprofit support. In return, he failed to pay artists, withheld funds, and used the credibility of others to build his platform.

He claimed lack of resources while:
• Promoting himself on screens in Times Square
• Hosting unpaid artists on stage
• Blocking access to music accounts while still receiving revenue

📂 The revenue distribution records from Ingrooves confirm:
David continued receiving artist payments well into 2025 — without compensating those who made the art.
Artists were removed from backend access and ignored despite repeated follow-ups.
