Odd Future Rep Questions Authenticity Of Earl Sweatshirt's Statement

After Earl's statement appeared in The New Yorker, Odd Future representative Heathcliff Berru is questioning its authenticity. He explained that there was no way of knowing if the statement came directly from Earl, and that his mother could have made the statement on his behalf.

"With them on tour [Odd Future] don't want to talk about it," he told XXLMag.com. "But it makes me wonder if that was Earl speaking or his mother speaking on his behalf. [New Yorker scribe] Kelefa [Sanneh] never technically had direct communication with Earl. All I know is that doesn't sound like Earl. My only thought is for his safe return."
