Scott Weiland’s son Noah faced criticism for making fun of his late father after sharing a video on Instagram.
Weiland posted a short clip to promote his new song, ‘Twilight.’ He joined the ‘of course’ trend to describe himself and said the following in the video:
“Of course, my dad is a famous rock star. I followed his footsteps, and I went to rehab like 30 times in the last two years alone. Of course, my dad is a famous rock star. My childhood was so traumatic that I don’t even remember it. Of course, my dad is a famous rock star. All I know how to do is make music and do drugs.”
Then, the person filming the video stepped in and asked Noah:
“Are you okay?”
He replied by saying:
“Just play that sh*t dude.”
Following his words, his new track ‘Twilight’ starts to play in the back. He captioned the video, writing:
“What else did u expect? Song: ‘Twilight’ – NOAH WEILAND out now on YouTube.”
How Did People React To His Words?
But Noah’s statements about his father drew criticism. One person wrote in the comment section:
“Scott was and always be more than bad stuff. More than a rockstar. Precious human being no matter what.”
Another user referred to Chris Cornell’s daughter, Lily, and said:
“Ask Lily Cornell never been to rehab, beautiful soul had a horrible childhood.”
Noah’s Reply To The Backlash
After the reactions, Noah shared the message about Lily on his Instagram Story and wrote as a response:
“Looks like the joke went over most of your heads. A) Great for whoever that is not sure why you all bringing up random people. B) I never touched a penny from my dad’s $ / will or whatever, unlike every other person in my family (interesting, right?) C) The whole point is that I lived the exact opposite life of these rock star TikTok kids. Wish I did! But instead, I got kicked out of my family home day after turning 18 over smoking & couch-surfed for years while working a 9-5 in & out of rehab! So fun!”
Last month, Noah shared another song named ‘Ooh Ooh Ooh,’ and criticized ‘fake pop-punk underground rappers’ in his Instagram post to promote the track.
