context_page_description: William Frederick Durst is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, producer, actor, and film director. He is best known as the frontman and lyricist of the rap rock band Limp Bizkit, formed in 1994, with whom he has released six studio albums.
  Since 2006, Durst has worked on independent films. He costarred in Population 436, and made his directorial debut in 2007, with The Education of Charlie Banks. He followed with The Longshots in 2008. His latest film, The Fanatic, came out in 2019.
context_section_description: Durst was accused of insulting fans of the band Slipknot in 1999 by referring to them as "fat, ugly kids". Slipknot singer Corey Taylor responded during a concert in Sydney by claiming that the fans of Slipknot "for the most part, enjoy all kinds of music, like Limp Bizkit, maybe." Taylor went on to claim that insulting the fans of Slipknot could also be insulting the fans of Limp Bizkit themselves.
  A feud between Limp Bizkit and Placebo began at a show Durst was compering at Irving Plaza in December 1998. A sidestage spat with Placebo singer Brian Molko led to Durst asking the crowd to chant "Placebo sucks!" prior to Placebo's performance. Molko later commented that nobody had told him that Durst would be compering the show and that Placebo would have to follow opening act Kid Rock. The feud was reignited during Big Day Out 2001, on which Placebo were billed below Limp Bizkit. By 2004, the feud had ended.
  Durst also fell out with rapper and former friend Eminem regarding Eminem's feud with Everlast. This resulted in Eminem creating a diss track against Durst called "Girls" released on his D12 group's 2001 album Devil's Night.
  On October 6, 2018, Shaggy 2 Dope from the hip hop duo Insane Clown Posse attempted to dropkick Durst during their performance of the song "Faith". DJ Lethal from Limp Bizkit responded on Instagram Live calling Shaggy a "clout chaser". According to 2 Dope, who is a pro wrestler with years of experience, he did not intend to cause Durst any harm and the motive for the kick stemmed from a dare he had with a security guard that let him on the stage after Durst announced "I need some people on stage."
