Ethel Cain has never been shy about speaking her mind, and now the singer is doubling down on saying we should “kill more CEOs” after Luigi Mangione‘s arrest, stating, “I genuinely mean what I say.”
On Friday, Cain spoke out about corrupt election officials in her Instagram stories with a quote from U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, describing how the NRA, Big Oil, and insurance companies influence Congress: “Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.” She added the hashtag “#KillMoreCEOs.”

Now, the singer is following up her controversial comments with even more ire. “I genuinely mean what I say,” she wrote in a new social media post. “Corporations giggle at protesting. Why would anyone ever willingly come down off their throne that they’ve spent years building off the suffering of their fellow man?”
“Nobody is getting visited by the ghost of Christmas future, no one is having a change of heart,” Cain added. “It’s simple, you make them fear for their lives and hit them in the only place they hurt or nothing will ever get done. I don’t even see how that’s an incredibly radical idea. It seems quite straightforward to me. ‘Violence is never the answer’ wrong. Sometimes it is.”
“The world is burning,” Cain concluded her post, “and it’s very clear who’s holding the matches.”
Ethel Cain Isn’t New to Expressing Her Views
Ethel Cain’s most recent comments are clearly motivated by the case of Luigi Mangione, who is charged with the assassination of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. They do not, however, represent her first taste of public commentary.
Following Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election, Cain took to Tumblr to express her frustration.
“The problem is that America has beaten down its people for decades and gotten them weak and desperate and now promises a way out, a way to transcend and rise above, through selling out their fellow man,” she wrote. “An embarrassingly large chunk of white men are just straight up nazis these days as a way to dissociate from the rest of the carnage around them, even if they’re broke and uneducated and from an impoverished background themselves.”
Ethel Cain, an outspoken advocate for social justice and equality, has made waves with her recent statement calling for the killing of more CEOs following the arrest of Luigi Mangione. Mangione, a prominent CEO, was arrested for embezzlement and fraud, further fueling Cain’s belief that corporate executives are often corrupt and harmful to society.
In a bold and controversial statement, Cain stated, “The arrest of Luigi Mangione is just the tip of the iceberg. We need to take drastic action against these wealthy and powerful individuals who exploit and oppress others for their own gain. Killing more CEOs may seem extreme, but it is necessary to bring about real change and hold these individuals accountable for their actions.”
While her call for violence may be shocking to some, Cain’s message resonates with many who feel that the wealthy elite often escape consequences for their harmful actions. As the wealth gap continues to widen and corporate greed runs rampant, Cain’s words serve as a powerful reminder of the need for systemic change and accountability in the business world.
It remains to be seen how society will respond to Cain’s provocative statement, but one thing is clear: the conversation around corporate accountability and the power dynamics within the business world is far from over.
