Wolfgang Van Halen, son of the legendary Eddie Van Halen, has a Twitter beef currently with people accusing him of taking advantage of the “Van Halen” name.

It’s honestly unbelievable how many people do not realize that “Van Halen” is his actual BIRTH name!

Wolfgang has had a field day replying to all of the fans of the band criticizing him for using the name, particularly one who wrote the 32-year-old, “If a person wants to make a name for themselves they wouldn’t take advantage of their famous father’s last name & band name.”

Wolfgang called him a “grape.”

Wolfgang then decided to provide a little history lesson to everyone who still thought he was taking advantage of Van Halen’s legacy.

Wolfgang then added a poll for fans to determine what his new name should be going forward.

He also added, “I really wanted to write “Wolfgang Paul McCartney & Wings” but there was a character limit.”
