Sway House accused of scamming artist for work he did for them SwayLA, InstagramLos Angeles-based artist Brooks Kossover claimed that he was scammed by the Sway House after being hired to paint a mural of Bryce Hall and Josh Richards for the popular TikTok group, in one of their prank videos. After receiving some backlash for hosting and attending parties during lockdown, the Sway House members have come under more fire after they were accused of scamming an artist, Brooks Kossover. The artist, who was hired to paint a \u201cjoke mural\u201d of Bryce Hall and Josh Richards as part of their YouTube prank war, revealed that the Sway House had not delivered their share of the deal until he was forced to call them out. During the latest episode of The Leo & Danny Show, on September 22, where Brooks was featured as the guest, he explained that he had only done the mural for free, in exchange for a shoutout on social media. \u201cI do this, they give me a YouTube shoutout, a story shoutout and put all my links, I\u2019m not getting any money for this.\u201d he explained, \u201cI\u2019ll do the first one as a freebie and maybe it\u2019d be good to bring a different demographic and audience to me.\u201d The popular influencers have a massive fan base with tens of millions of followers across all their pages, but Kossover claimed that they did not shout him out when the vlog was first released. \u201cThe next day the vlog comes out, not only did they not put my link in the description at all but there was no story posted, and they used my painting as the thumbnail,\u201d he claimed. Topic starts at 42:25 \u201cI told the management if he doesn\u2019t post the story within 24 hours, I could literally go to small claims,\u201d Kossover added, explaining his concerns over being scammed by the group. However, after calling out the Sway House members, they eventually included his links and promoted him for the mural after the video had already been uploaded. Brooks explained that they had even removed his painting from the thumbnail after their back and forth but he claimed it was \u201cnot worth it at all\u201d with the delay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
