Last year, Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst announced he is suing Universal Music Group (UMG) for allegedly withholding over $200 million in royalties and engaging in fraudulent accounting practices.
Now, while speaking to Mark Strigl in a new interview, Puddle of Mudd frontman Wes Scantlin – who is also signed to UMG – was asked about the lawsuit and if he is involved in it.
“Dude UMG is like my soul. Fred is my soul. Fred is my heart. I don’t think [it worked out]. No, it didn’t even work out. So it’s totally just squashed,” Scantlin said.
“I don’t think that worked out for Fred. But I do love him and I do love UMG. So they probably just sorted it out. Maybe he squeezed out with about 50 million. I don’t know, but I didn’t see a check yet.”
Despite Scantlin’s claims, there has yet to be official news of a settlement between Durst and UMG. The latest developments in the case suggest the lawsuit is still ongoing.
