FUN Lovin’ Criminals have gone to war, with frontman Huey Morgan branding his bandmates ‘disloyal and cowardly’.
Huey, 56, slammed his former co-stars on social media yesterday as he confirmed the 90s pop group were locked in a bitter feud.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, he tweeted: “Yes it’s true, @funlovincrims did indeed trademark and copyright the band name behind my back while I was still in the band and that is some cowardly disloyal s**t, but the funny part is that @frankflc3 & @brianfastleiser are now in a tribute band for someone they hate.”
The singer, who quit the group in 2021, was supported by his followers as they rushed to the comments section.
One wrote: “You’re the boss. Period,” while another added: “You were always the band. They look ridiculous with the fake Huey. Looking forward to your music releases H.”
A third agreed: “Well spoken, sir,” with one more concluding: “There is only one Huey.”
It’s not the first time he’s lashed out at them, though.
Last year, he called Fun Lovin’ Criminals a ‘corny tribute act’ after they blocked him online.
Huey 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 amid the ongoing drama, the former lead slammed his ex-bandmates once more.
He wrote: “My friends, I am not in @funlovincrims anymore. They are just a corny tribute act now.
“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.”
Huey previously broke his silence about quitting the band.
The musician 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.”
