Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has unloaded after he’s been accused of selling out for money like Imagine Dragons by a fan on Instagram after collaborating with Falling In Reverse.

A fan named Justice commented to Taylor, “It really blows my mind that @CoreyTaylorRock talks shit about @Imaginedragons then does a song with @FIROfficial How much did they pay you?”

Taylor hit back, “I did it for free. Just like all the other guest spots I do. Anything else you have no clue about that you want to attempt to talk shit on?“

Justice responded, “No disrespect towards you. Just genuinely confused. When you gunna hit that guest spot for imagine dragons?”

While Corey Taylor and his Slipknot bandmates released a dramatic statement announcing the firing of percussionist Chris Fehn last month, Fehn’s lawer Joseph Dunne tells the Des Moines Register there has been no official change in Fehn’s employment with the band. If it was up to Fehn, he would remain a member, his lawyer said.

“He thought everyone was being treated equally,” Dunne told the Des Moines Register, saying there was tension between Fehn and other band members who appeared to operate the business. “My client really is just hoping to figure out a way to work this out with the people he’s worked side by side with for the last 20 years.”

Slipknot previously announced, “Slipknot’s focus is on making album #6, and our upcoming shows around the world, our best ever. Chris knows why he is no longer a part of Slipknot. We are disappointed that he chose to point fingers and manufacture claims, rather than doing what was necessary to continue to be a part of Slipknot. We would have preferred he not take the path that he has, but evolution in all things is a necessary part of this life. Long Live The Knot.”

Corey Taylor previously tweeted, “You think that’s dickish, try being wrongfully accused of stealing money from someone you cared about, and having a lot of your fans believe it. Good Morning, by the way.”

Chris Fehn’s full 15-page lawsuit against former Slipknot bandmates Corey Taylor and Michael ‘Clown’ Crahan has been uploaded online. Taylor has denied the allegations against him, telling a fan on Twitter, “You think that’s dickish, try being wrongfully accused of stealing money from someone you cared about, and having a lot of your fans believe it. Good Morning, by the way.”
