An obscure Ottawa punk band which made international headlines after it accidentally appeared on some European vinyl pressings of a Beyonce album has been removed from its label.
In a statement, California-based Magic Bullet Records has announced ZEX has been dropped from its roster of artists due to what is says are sexual assault allegations involving the band's guitarist known as "Joe Capitalicide."

The announcement was made late Tuesday.
Due to what Columbia Records calls "human error," ZEX ended up on copies of Beyonce's "Lemonade" pressed at a German plant.
