Jay Kay, the lead singer of the group Jamiroquai, was forced to deny that he was at the riots in Capitol.
The English musician took to Twitter on Thursday after noticing his name because people misidentified him as one of the rioters who broke the security of the American Capitol building. Many people seem to have confused the two men thanks to their similar headwear.
“Good morning Washington, like the head coverings, but do not know if this is my crowd,” did he tweet. “Everyone stay safe, J xxx.”
The 51-year-old singer often wears lavish headgear while performing on stage. As a result, some quickly believed he was one of the rioters photographed at the Senate on Wednesday, without a shirt with red, white and blue face paint and who were apparently Viking horns.

The real individual was identified as 32-year-old Jake Angeli, a well-known staple at similar events in the Arizona area, also known as the ‘Q Shaman’ because of his strange dress and support of the QAnon. conspiracy theory, according to the New York Post.

Angeli told The Arizona Republic in 2020 that he wears the head coverings and paint to more easily draw attention to himself so he can spray his conspiracy theories to the public.
In addition to unmasking rumors that he attended the unprecedented security breach at the Capitol, Kay shared a video of himself further explaining to the online community that he was not in DC
“Good morning world!” he said in an accompanying video in an exaggerated southern compulsion. “Now some of you think you saw me last night in Washington, but I’m afraid I was not with all the frats.”

He then goes on to his real British accent to explain to his followers that he is looking forward to touring again, but that he is not sure when that will happen in the face of renewed closures in the UK due to the coronavirus pandemic.
He also caught the attention of the public to discuss animal rights.

“The way we treat our animals, farm with them, put them in the cage, all the other things, we’ll just keep getting it over and over again. Hopefully we will try to learn our lesson,” he concluded.
