Nineties pop legend fuels feud with former bandmates as he brands them ‘corny tribute act’ after quitting group
A NINETIES pop legend has branded his former band, Fun Lovin’ Criminals, a ‘corny tribute act’ after they blocked him on social media.
Huey Morgan found fame as one-third of the rap rock group which he formed with Brian Leiser and Steve Borgovini.
They were best known for their 1996 hit Scooby Snacks and released six studio albums, three of which have made the top ten on the UK Albums Chart between 1996 and 2010.
Issuing an update to X/Twitter on Thursday amid the ongoing drama, the former frontman slammed his ex-bandmates once more.
He wrote: “My friends, I am not in @funlovincrims anymore. They are just a corny tribute act now.”
Morgan continued: “The ‘100% Colombian anniversary album tour’ is a fraud. It’s only the original keyboard player pretending to be me, singing my lyrics like a clown and 2 guys from Leicester who weren’t within 3000 miles of the studio.
“They threatened me with some legal bull**** if I spoke up, but I spent 30 years making this band, and I’ll be damned if these cowards are gonna keep me quiet.
“Please repost because they’ve blocked me like chumps.”
It comes after Morgan finally broke his silence about quitting the band after his former bandmates blocked him on X/Twitter.
The singer addressed his departure, saying his ex-bandmates tried to “pull a fast one” on him.
Sharing a poster announcing Fun Lovin’ Criminals will be going to Australia next year, Huey wrote: “I see why they’ve blocked me. are trying to pull a fast one down under and don’t want y’all to know I’m not in the band anymore.
“That’s sad and creepy y’all. Just a tribute act now…”
In November 2021 Fun Lovin Criminals stated: “Huey has officially confirmed his departure from the band. We wish him all the best with his endeavours.
We will continue as Fun Lovin’ Criminals because of the love and dedication we have for our music and our fans. More details to follow.”
