Appearing on ‘The Jason Ellis Show‘ on SiriusXM, Shinoda once again addressed the matter. Before delving into his take on the situation, Shinoda found the humor in Rome’s tweet, calling the nickname “Linkin Narc” “by far the funniest nickname ever with regards to our band.”
Shinoda did state that he was in the area, as he met up with Josh Freese, Sublime with Rome’s drummer, but nothing was said to the police. He went on to add, “Apparently, from [Rome’s] perspective, we called the cops because they were smoking weed. First of all, if you were at this venue, there were a shocking number of police officers in the venue. Whatever happened, nobody called POT-911, cause [the cops] were there — they were standing outside the room. So I don’t know what happened and I have no idea what happened with who. But I know that I didn’t call anybody and I know Chester [Bennington] didn’t call anybody.”
The rocker adds, “Dude, we took … Snoop Dogg out on tour. We took Cypress Hill out on tour. Our second tour ever was with Kottonmouth Kings. Did I put Snoop Dogg in jail? Why would I do that?” Shinoda states, “He’s saying it’s poor form on our end, and I’m saying, and by the way I tweeted at him. I went directly at the guy like, ‘Look, I don’t know what happened. I’m sorry that it happened to you and I don’t know what happened, but I didn’t do it. … I didn’t lash out at him and I don’t think the guy’s an a–hole, but I think he was misled or whatever.”
