You’ve heard the rumors by now…see below for Pete’s response:

Pete Wentz has denied reports that he sent a cease and desist notice to Canadian band Neurosonic.
The band, who played a show at New York’s Knitting Factory last week, wrote a song entitled ‘So Many People’ in response to Simpson’s notorious ‘Saturday Night Live’ performance when the wrong backing track was played and she was proven to be lip-synching. Simpson ran offstage on live television.
‘Pete Wentz has a cease and desist out against us’ singer Jason Darr told the crowd in New York, prompting a gossip-piece in the New York Post’s Page Six column.
Wentz responded to the report on his blog where he says he has not even heard of the up-and-coming metallers.
“I have never heard of that band or ever sent a cease and desist in my life”, Wentz wrote. “Hope it works out for you”.
He went on to say:
“I’m still not gonna have a fight in the press - its one thing I am really proud of myself for this year. If your songs are good then sleep easy and have fun playing them - just don’t attach me to them.”
