Creed Singer Scott Stapp Is Broke And Homeless

"I don't understand how that's fair in America. My civil rights have been violated."

Hugely popular in the late 90s, Creed sold a none-too-shabby 30 million records before splitting in 2004.

Reforming in 2009 as a primarily live entity, the group still enjoy a large and – if we're honest – fairly inexplicable fanbase.

A few days ago, though, frontman Scott Stapp posted a video message online claiming that he is broke and homeless.

The bizarre missive makes several allegations of fraud, and lashes out at American authorities. Scott Stapp started auditing his accounts eight weeks ago "and all hell began to break loose".

"During the course of that audit, a lot of things were uncovered," he said. "A lot of money was stolen from me, or royalties not paid, and that's when all hell began to break loose."

Filmed in a Holiday Inn, Scott Stapp had seemingly spent the previous few weeks living in a truck. "I'm under some kind of pretty vicious attack. There are people who have taken advantage and stolen money from me, and they're trying to discredit me, slander me," he said. "Someone had used my information and changed my online passwords to my bank accounts and transferred all the money out my bank accounts so I had nothing."

Finishing, the singer vowed to fight these unfortunate events. "I don't understand how that's fair in America. My civil rights have been violated," he said. "I'm gonna expose and I'm gonna fight every single individual that is responsible for this. Right now I'm looking for an honest, good attorney that's ready to fight and take it all the way to the top."
