Country star Gavin Adcock blasted BeyoncĂ©âs Cowboy Carter during a profanity-laced rant caught on video.
In the now-viral clip, Adcock was performing onstage when he unleashed his critique of Beyoncé's country album.
âYou can tell her weâre coming for her f**king a**,â Adcock said during a performance, noting that Cowboy Carter had performed better than his album on the charts. âThat sh** ainât country music, and it ainât ever been country music, and it ainât gonna be country music.â
Warning: Explicit
The country musician doubled down on his stance after his rant surfaced on social media.
âWhen I was a little kid, my mama was blasting some BeyoncĂ© in the car,â Adcock said in an Instagram video. âIâve heard a ton of BeyoncĂ© songs, and I actually remember her Super Bowl halftime show being pretty kick a** back in the day. But I really donât believe that her album should be labeled as country music.â
âIt doesnât sound country. It doesnât feel country. And I just donât think that people that have dedicated their whole lives to this genre and this lifestyle should have to compete or watch that album just to stay at the top just because sheâs BeyoncĂ©," he added.
Adcock captioned his post, âIt just ainât country.â
Despite Adcock's criticism, BeyoncĂ©âs Cowboy Carter has produced country chart-topping hits, sold out shows across the nation, and snagged the Grammy for Best Country Album earlier this year.
