Bobby Canipe Jr. said the idea for the fake 2016 Fred Durst was intended to be an inside joke with friends. When his social media post garnered national attention he decided to keep the joke going.
A Newton filmmaker commemorated the 10-year anniversary of a Fred Durst concert in Morganton with a permanent tattoo on his right lower leg. But the concert never actually happened.
The Fred Durst tattoo Bobby Canipe Jr. got on his right leg to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of the concert at Roses Discount Store in Morganton that never happened.
Alvin Ward said a friend of his suggested he do a painting about the fake 2016 Fred Durst concert at a Roses Department Store in Morganton. In February, Alvin Ward tattooed a design inspired by the painting onto Bobby Canipe Jr.'s right leg. Canipe is the man that started to hoax on social media.
Alvin Ward said this painting he did of Fred Durst performing at the Roses Discount Store in Morganton served as his inspiration for designing a similar tattoo.
