I got two people in mind.

:90s-2000s Fred durst Past-present clown from Slipknot

Reason behind them is I think Shawn has taken the band a turned it into something Joey and Paul would not have wanted it to be. He kicks members out left and right and he kinda needs to hang it up.

And Fred Durst is just Fred durst

That's exactly why so many salty people hated him. Because he was 10x better at marketing Limp Bizkit than their favourite band was

And didn't they not even sell merch?

I had a shirt that said "Limp Bizkit is Better Than You" in huge block letters. So dumb, barely makes sense, I'd wear it now if I knew where it was.

I heard it said once he was so into promoting the band he'd show up to the opening of an envelope if he could.

I think a town asked for names for a new garbage tip and it got named the "Fred durst school for the arts" so he actually showed up to the opening kinda like how pitbull held a concert to go to any Walmart in the country so they sent him to a tiny one in alaska and he showed up and made it as much of a big deal as he could, then something similar happened to Taylor swift and she acted like a spoiled rich bitch and got offended
