Rikki Rockett, the aptly named drummer of rock band Poison, has blasted reports he is facing a financial crisis - following a spate of rumours about his recent decision to sell an expensive watch over

Rockett announced he is selling off a valuable Rolex timepiece on auction website eBay - prompting internet gossips to speculate about his monetary situation.

But the musician has hit back at claims he is close to financial ruin - insisting he is not selling his possessions to pay off any debts.

He tells Blabbermouth, "I decided to sell my 2006 Rolex because I haven't worn it even once since I got the new one. Besides, I'd prefer to set some of the memories attached to the watch aside. 'Toss it up on eBay,' everyone kept telling me. Fine, so I did.

"Now I'm all over the c**p press with people saying like, 'Oh, he must be broke!' and bulls**t like that. Do I have to be on the skids (poor) to sell something? Do I have to keep everything I ever bought or in the public eye I'm going broke?

"Geez! I'm far from broke, ya f**kin' douche bags! I'm just unloading a watch because I ain't wearin' the f**kin' thing!"

Alright Rikki, no need to get so defensive there mate!
