Billy Corgan appears to have re-fueled his feud with former partner Courtney Love after the Smashing Pumpkins frontman launched an attack on the Hole singer via Twitter.

Courtney Love has responded to recent comments from Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan after he told Rolling Stone he would not be happy with Courtney using his material on new Hole records. “…it would be a real big problem, because I haven’t given my permission,” he said. “I have no interest in supporting her in any way, shape or form. You can’t throw enough things down the abyss with a person like that.”
