Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke made no bones when discussing Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oliver Sykes‘ Drop Dead Clothing line in the past. In particular he referred to Sykes as a “fucking fraudulent pussy” for Sykes‘ liberal usage of other bands lyrics on his clothing line.
Time has not blunted Radke‘s assessment of Sykes it would seem as he echoed similar concerns about Sykes once again in a new interview with Altpress about his own clothing line, Hood$ Up. The following exchange took place in regards to that:
“In AP 307 you had some strong words for Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oli Sykes and his company, Drop Dead Clothing. He’s come under fire for allegedly ripping off lyrics from Tyler, The Creator and Attila for Drop Dead’s designs. What do you have to say about that?
It’s so stupid and childish, but I don’t really respect people who straight-up steal, someone who just straight-up jacks you. I really don’t worry about it myself, but I wouldn’t put it past anyone. I’ve seen it done with my music—like, friends will text me going, “Did you hear this?” I mean, I’m inspired by those brands I told you about, but I won’t straight-up steal.”
