McKagan claimed the show approached him in the '80s to use his name for a beer in The Simpsons, linking it to his nickname 'The King of Beers' from a concert introduction by Axl Rose.
Simpsons creator Matt Groening and former showrunner Mike Reiss dispute the claim, stating 'Duff' came from writer Jay Kogen, and they were not aware of McKagan during the naming process.
