There is no direct evidence that 'Champion' the music artist is personally involved in animal cruelty, but there are claims associated with a Jaheim, an R&B singer, and several former NFL players, none of which link to the music artist directly.

Champion was named in a 2025 sentencing for a $1 million pandemic relief grant fraud with Tezzaree El-Amin, receiving a 7-year prison sentence.

In 2021, Champion used a racial slur that caused controversy, with the council citing this incident as one of the reasons for their actions. Although no conviction was mentioned, this incident suggests discriminatory behavior. The full details and any subsequent actions are unclear.

Champion's lead singer, Jim Hesketh, has been accused of molesting young girls and being a child predator, but further information is required to confirm these allegations.
