Korean star Psy has thanked Green Day's Billie Joe, after the rock frontman labelled him 'the herpes of music' on his Instagram account.
The Green Day frontman posted a picture of Psy in the 'Gangnam Style' pose on his account, and included the caption "This dude is the herpes of music. Once you think it's gone, it comes back. #herpes #flareup #pleasegoaway"
When asked about the comment by Fuse, Psy inititally did not know what herpes was. When it was explained, Psy said that he thought it was 'cool' that he keeps coming back after fading away.
"I should say something to him," he told the presenter. "What was his name? Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day is saying I'm like herpes, keep coming back. I think it's really cool and I appreciate that. Thank you."

Liam Gallagher has previously spoken out about being a fan of Psy - unlike Armstrong. In a webchat, Gallagher was asked if he was a fan of 'Gangnam Style' by Japanese fans.
He said, "I think it’s an absolute classic. I love it. My kid dances to it every morning and it makes me chuckle and spit out my Corn Flakes."
