Courtney Love says Kurt Cobain "loathed" Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl.

The singer, Cobain's former partner, was responding to claims that a lyric by Grohl's current band Foo Fighters is about her destructive effect on Cobain.

'Let It Die' includes the lines: "A simple man and his blushing bride/Intravenous, intertwined... You're so considerate/Did you ever think of me?"

Love, writing on her MySpace site, said: "As for that drummer, well he's hit on me so many times. He's just a very, very conflicted guy about me, which is why he continually writes songs about me to hear he 'hates' me more than 'anyone else'.

"Kurt loathed him more than anyone else (except a journalist). In his will he made a codicil that Grohl was no longer a member of Nirvana. I just ignored the guy and will continue to."

She continued: "Dave knows this, and he takes it out on me! Hey, it wasn't my band and it wasn't my idea! It's funny he 'hates' me since I don't think about him."
