On December 6th, Jean Paul Makhlouf confirmed he was on the receiving end of a death threat via his voicemail.

It is not clear why the threat was relayed. Though we don't want to infer someone associated with Sonic or the Sonic community is responsible, it should be noted that for the moment, Cash Cash is best known for their involvement in Sonic Generations, producing several remixes for both the home console and 3DS editions of the game. The group also produced the image themes to Sonic Colors, Reach for the Stars and Speak with your Heart. Their latest album separate from their Sonic work was released in April.

For his part, Makhlouf appeared to take the issue in stride, calling the perpetrator out publicly:

"just got a death threat voicemail..bring it pussy, man up, unblock your # and ill give you my addy then meet you half way you lil bitchh ass"

It is not clear whether other band members, including Jean Pau'’s brother Alex, received similar threats.
