is end up + noun, end up the mess for instance, real english or do native speakers really speak this way? end up the mess, end up the war, end up the meeting etc... is it the incorrect use of the phrase "end up" which means finally be or do something/be in a certain state as a result of some action or event?

Not good English, but oddly enough we can 'finish up the war/ the soup / the meeting'.
.
I repeat: Not good English. That means it is not correct and native speakers do not say that.
.
Please show me this evidence ( and 'evidence' is an uncountable noun).
