Noah Weiland, son of Stone Temple Pilots’ Scott Weiland, is pushing back on reports that he’s riding on his father’s coattails.

The aspiring musician explained in a recent interview with Rolling Stone that “I’m not a trust fund baby or anything like that”.

He continued, “I always get annoyed when people say that type of stuff. My dad was millions in debt when he died. My mom has always worked a normal job. And truthfully, even if my dad’s estate ever does get out of debt, I don’t even want that money. I want to make a career out of myself as much as possible.”

Three years ago, Noah performed alongside London Hudson (son of Guns N’ Roses’ Slash) and Tye Trujillo (son of Metallica’s Robert Trujillo) in their band Suspect208. Last month, Noah shared his song “Yesterday”.
