Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke has made serious allegations against Daiki Koide, guitarist of Japanese electronic metalcore group Crossfaith. In a since-deleted video originally posted to TikTok, Radke claimed that Koide, 37, had been communicating with a fan alleged to be just 14 years old.
According to Radke, he was sent screenshots of the alleged conversation and immediately removed Crossfaith from a series of upcoming European tour dates with Falling In Reverse. He also stated that he reached out to the band’s remaining members and to several festival organizers, urging them to drop the band from their lineups. One of those festivals, Graspop Metal Meeting, opted to keep Crossfaith on the bill, a decision Radke publicly condemned.
In the now-removed video, Radke also shared screencaps of what he said was a private conversation with Crossfaith vocalist Kenta Koie, in which he allegedly pushed the band to fire Koide. In the alleged messages, Koie reportedly told Radke that Koide didn’t know the fan’s age—something Radke strongly rejected.
Radke stated:
“I was gonna be silent about it and let it go away and let the band fire the guy. They refused to fire him, so that means the kids are not protected. You need to protect these fucking teenagers.”
As of now, Crossfaith have not issued a public response to the allegations, and no legal action has been publicly reported.
