Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx recently stirred up controversy with a tweet hinting at the band’s next album incorporating elements of country and hip-hop genres.
However, Sixx quickly clarified that his statement was intended as sarcasm, debunking rumors of a drastic shift in the band’s musical direction.
In response to a news outlet’s article discussing his earlier tweet, Sixx shared a screenshot on social media, accompanied by a caption addressing the misunderstanding:
“Hahaha. Good ole media not crossing checking sarcasm.”
Despite the initial confusion, fans can rest assured that Mötley Crüe is not venturing into country or hip-hop territory with their upcoming album. Sixx’s tweet was part of a playful update about the new music, which generated mixed reactions from fans. While some embraced the idea, others dismissed it as an April Fools’ joke, highlighting the band’s diverse fan base and the anticipation surrounding their next release.
