Noah Weiland, the son of late Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland, has gone public with allegations of a dispute involving his father’s estate as he released a new single titled “I’m Sorry Dad.”
In a post on Instagram, he said the track was informed by personal conflict and his frustration over what he described as unanswered questions about the trust connected to Scott Weiland’s assets.
Noah stated that his mother refused to show him a copy of his father’s trust and claimed he unknowingly signed away rights tied to Scott Weiland’s “catalog, likeness, etc.”
In his statement, Noah also described a strained relationship with his mother and said he had travelled to Texas while working toward a sobriety milestone, but alleged the visit deteriorated quickly. He wrote that he felt he had been misled, and portrayed the situation as part of a wider set of issues he said he could no longer keep private.
“‘I’m Sorry Dad,’ my newest single is available now,” Noah Weiland stated. “I will not stop fighting for my father, son and myself. They’re going to try & say that I’m crazy after this but I do not care.”
He then elaborated on the strained relationship with his mother and the circumstances surrounding his father’s estate.
“My mom and I (unfortunately) will never have a healthy bond. I flew to Texas to see her until I reached my next sobriety milestone, and things went left fast… She lied to me so much and all I wanted to do was see if we could finally mend our troubled relationship.”
“Between her refusing to show me a copy of my father’s trust, having me sign over all my rights to sell his (catalog, likeness, etc) without me knowing, threatening to call the police on me after catching her taking pictures of me while asleep, wanting my son fatherless, and plenty more… That’s just the tip of the iceberg.”
Weiland further expressed his belief that his father would not have wanted the current situation.
“This is not what he would’ve wanted and I’m tired of staying quiet, trust me I wish I was a nepo-baby. That is why I put this song out.”
The comments echo earlier claims Noah has made around Scott Weiland’s finances and inheritance, including an incident where he alleged money connected to his father was stolen during past family conflict.
Noah framed the song’s release as both a personal outlet and a public stand, writing that he believed the current circumstances were not what his father would have wanted. The dispute adds another chapter to the complicated posthumous handling of Scott Weiland’s legacy, where music, rights and family relationships remain closely intertwined.
