WHAT WENT DOWN
Sid Wilson co-hosted the first World Scratch Invitational, held as part of the DJX Show Convention, and took the mic to introduce himself as "No. 0, from the world famous Slipknot" †. That was weeks after a TMZ report claimed he had been permanently dismissed from the band †.
THE DETAILS
- Wilson was billed under his DJ alias, DJ Starscream, at the inaugural event this week *†.
- His full intro: "What's up ya'll? Sid, DJ Starscream/No. 0, from the world famous Slipknot. How ya'll doing tonight?" †
- A late-July TMZ report said he was out; a follow-up cited an anonymous source on his conduct toward bandmates †.
- Jim Root posted an Instagram Story: "Don't believe everything you read. Stop. Think. Take a breath." †
- Footage went up via the @swiftstyle account tied to ScratchBreak.com, intro near the seven-minute mark †.
- Neither Wilson nor Slipknot has addressed the reports; Loudwire got no reply from a band rep †.
THE TAKE
Wilson has held the No. 0 slot since 1998 and appears on all seven major-label albums, so the number carries weight regardless of who's confirming what †. This remains unresolved — Slipknot has issued no statement, and Lambgoat notes his standing is still unclear ‡.
