UPDATE 6/29 | Moonboy has responded to the allegations in a series of videos posted to Instagram. [Read here.]
This past weekend, EDM Twitter has lobbied accusations against producer/DJ Moonboy, beginning with user @stephhcastro_, who tweeted on Saturday, “MOONBOY is the fakest person ive ever met in my life and knowingly fucks underage girls.”
The screenshots and videos Steph used to support her initial claim did not do so, and only generally showed Moonboy to have allegedly deceived her into buying a plane ticket to a festival in Canada. However, Steph’s tweet opened the door for other women to tell their stories, and others had much more significant accusations.
Most notable was @tostadabrooklyn, who told of a situation in which she went back to Moonboy’s hotel room to engage in consensual sex with him. Brooklyn (as we’ll call her, for ease) says she was 100% sober while Moonboy was drunk during the encounter.
“When we were having sex though, he kept asking me to record it and I kept saying no and that was that,” Brooklyn wrote. “The last position I remember was laying on my right side facing the wall.
“The next morning, I woke up completely on the other side of the bed. I fell asleep while he continued to have sex with me. While I was asleep, I had a CLEAR memory of rolling over and pushing a flash away from me.”

Another accusation came from @laynebrank.
He did the same thing to me. I woke up to him touching me and I told him multiple times to stop and every time I woke up he was doing it again.

Your EDM reached out to the management email listed on Moonboy’s social media pages this afternoon, and received this response, “Loko Entertainment has parted ways with Moonboy. We have no further comment at this time.”
At time of publishing, Moonboy has still made no public acknowledgement of the accusations nor any statement in response to them. However, he has deleted thousands of tweets since the accusations first surfaced this weekend — it’s unknown if these tweets could have been potentially damaging. Your EDM has reached out to Moonboy for comment, as well, though he’s not responded at time of publishing. We will update if and when he chooses to respond to these accusations.
We’ve been unable to find any legal charges against Moonboy, and it’s important to remember these accusations are just that – accusations. However, sometimes silence speaks louder than words and Moonboy’s lack of comment is certainly disconcerting.
