Some pretty wild reports have been circling the metal world over the past few days, claiming longtime Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson has been fired from the band after more than 25 years. Before we venture any further down this particular rabbit hole, though, there’s one very important caveat: neither Slipknot nor Wilson has publicly confirmed that he’s left the band. Root didn’t mention Wilson or TMZ by name, so his post stopped short of directly denying the claims. Again, none of those claims have been publicly confirmed by Slipknot or Wilson, and at this stage they remain allegations attributed to anonymous sources speaking with TMZ. TMZ approached the muso outside a Los Angeles recording studio on Sunday and asked him point-blank whether he’d been fired from Slipknot.
