In between projects, Davidson wrote music that he later self-released as a digital EP titled The Good Hurt.

Controversies

In March 2016, Davidson performed a song in front of Donald Trump and Ben Carson that united left- and right-leaning media outlets, who called it “cringeworthy.”

In December 2016, Davidson called a fan at his home and ranted at him for nearly a half hour using profane language as well as derogatory and homophobic terms, occasionally threatening to attack the fan, which was covered by several news sources.

In March 2017, Davidson responded to the London terrorist attacks with an anti-Muslim tweet.
