Falling In Reverse vocalist Ronnie Radke has taken to social media to call out Red Hot Chili Peppers vocalist Anthony Kiedis. His ire for Kiedis spilled over in a recently deleted video on his TikTok, which found Radke calling out the funk rock icon for admitting to having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old in his 2004 memoir ‘Scar Tissue‘.
In that book, Kiedis, who was thought to be in his twenties around the time, later found out the girl’s age, but admitted to having another sexual encounter despite the revelation. That relationship would later inspire the Red Hot Chili Peppers‘ 1985 track “Catholic School Girls Rule“.
Kiedis found himself on Radke‘s radar after recently taking part in a benefit show for victims of the Californian wildfires. Kiedis‘ Red Hot Chili Peppers bandmate Chad Smith oversaw that benefit set, which found guitarist Brent Woods serving as the house guitarist. WoodsRadke previously slammed Woods, alleging the musician had relations with an underage woman.
Outside of that association, and implying that Kiedis and Smith were complicit in any alleged wrongful behavior by Woods, Radke further went off on Kiedis‘ musical abilities, stating (transcribed by theprp.com):
“Anthony Kiedis, stop singing. You sound like f*cking sh*t. You’re f*cking terrible at singing. You’ve never been good at singing. Your whole band f*cking sucks. The only thing good about your band is Flea because he takes his f*cking clothes off and he has his dick hanging from a sock, and he’s pretty good at bass. The rest of your band’s f*cking ass. F*ck you guys.”
After making various allegations against Kiedis, Radke later lobbed allegations of a similar nature towards Woods, radio host Eddie Trunk and glam metaller Tracii Guns. Radke at one point during his diatribe stated, “If I hear one person say “I like the Red Hot Chili Peppers,’ I’m swinging on you.”
Ronnie is back on his mission to take down the pedophiles! It's unbelievable that these guys are still given a platform even though this shit is proven (or admitted)! Others get canceled for much less. I don't understand it! ?? @RonnieRadke @FIROfficial pic.twitter.com/BlP1CnOhrl
