Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst has made some interesting choices in the past few decades, including asking to help Elon Musk out with X (formally Twitter) and pleading with Donald Trump during his first presidency. The musician is now correcting fans about how his band’s biggest hit, “Nookie,” is actually a heart-breaking love song.
