Ronnie Radke hit back at fans who accuse him of joining Mötley Crüe as a ‘sell-out’ band.
A fan page for Radke initially shared a favorite picture of the singer on X. The post praised his journey from being a fan of Mötley Crüe to now opening for them.
Then, a fan commented, “I like Motley, but man, they have SOLD OUT. Ronnie kinda is too, I just hope he dosen’t go to the point beyond return (like they have).”
“I will literally hold a Pepsi in a commercial for 1 million dollars. I do not give a f*ck what are you talking about sell out?” Radke said in his reply.
He added, “I will 100% sell out everything. Y’all are stupid as sh*t imagine declining a commercial or anything else like that because you don’t want fans to think you ‘sold out.’ I’ll do a damn t Mobil commercial idgaf keep that sh*t real.”
Last month, Falling In Reverse made history as the first rock and metal band to get a gold RIAA certification for a new album released in 2024. Radke celebrated this achievement after facing online hate in recent years on X.
“There is something beautiful in the fact that my album goes gold in 31 days after its release, yet I am the most hated and sh*tted on person in this music scene,” he said about ‘Popular Monster’s success. “If your favorite band is so much better than me, go give them a gold album and shut the absolute f*ck up about me then, b*tch… Here’s your L.”
Radke also shared a sarcastic video where he made fun of the backlash he received for his posts about the LGBTQ+ community. He mocked the labels people called him, like ‘transphobic,’ ‘homophobe,’ and ‘racist.’
The singer noted, “My album went gold already. It came out last month, it’s already gold. How dare my album go gold? I’m transphobic. Congratulations to everybody that was involved with this. It’s bullsh*t. I’m so proud of this, and it makes me uncomfortable.”
“All this hard work, all this dedication, and this decides to go gold in such a short amount of time. I’m a homophobe and racist. I can’t believe that this went gold,” he continued. “Thank you to everybody involved. The mixing, Tyler [Burgess], my whole band that plays this live. Everybody that helped, Cody [Quistad], everybody, I love you, guys.”
‘Popular Monster’ arrived in August. The album features contributions from artists like Alex Terrible from Slaughter to Prevail and rapper Tech N9ne. It took from 2019 to 2023 to create the album.
