Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst recently appeared on a new episode of “Hot Ones Versus.” In the show, if people decide not to answer a question, they have to eat a hot chicken wing.
In round 2 of the episode, Durst was asked to rank artists he has openly feuded with from the most to least talented, including Slipknot, Creed, Eminem, and Insane Clown Posse. Without hesitation, Durst opted to eat a hot wing instead of answering.
While he may not have wanted to talk about his feuds with any of the above artists, Slipknot’s Corey Taylor was much more open about his beef with Durst during his appearance on the same show this past October.
“I love that this is coming up as I’m doing all this work on myself,” Taylor said when asked to rank his feuds with Limp Bizkit, Nickelback, and Machine Gun Kelly from worst to best. “If I were to answer with my current self, I would say that a lot of things that I said were based off of my own ego, my own insecurities, my own arrogance.”
“If I were to say that with that ugly ego, I would say at the top I would put Limp Bizkit. Because, creatively, there are so many factors to that band that show and have been explored. And my issues truly weren’t even with Limp Bizkit. They were with Fred,” Taylor admitted. “It wasn’t about the band, it was just about what Fred represented at the time, the things that were being said, and the people in the band that were actually saying things about us.”
Slipknot and Limp Bizkit’s feud goes way back to the early 2000s, with it escalating after Durst said “Slipknot fans are a bunch of fat, ugly kids.”
Not long after, when Taylor was asked by a fan about the rivalry between the two bands, the Slipknot frontman replied: “You would have to ask the Limp Bizkit question… You know what I had to say to that? Fred Durst is fat! I’m a fat, ugly kid, and Slipknot fans, for the most part, enjoy all kinds of music, like Limp Bizkit, maybe. So what you’re basically saying is that your fans are fat, ugly kids too? You wanna talk sh*t on the people you care about?! WE WILL COME THERE AND WE WILL KILL YOU!”
Despite this feud, things have seemed to have cooled down between the two singers in recent years. In 2011, Taylor posted a photo alongside Durst’s kids (who are apparent Slipknot fans) and in 2016 the pair even shared a selfie together on Facebook.
