Country artist Zach Bryan criticizes a fellow singer, rescinds joint song release following mockery over his $350 million recording contract.
LOUD AND CLEAR Video#### Zach Bryan's feud with John Moreland and the fallout from their duet sure as hell has the country music scene fussin'!
Let me tell ya, the Billboard Music Awards host, Michelle Buteau, reckons our sector needs some good old-fashioned unity, and she's got a point. This week, country stars Zach Bryan and Morgan Wallen have been dominating the headlines, and not just for conquering Billboard's charts.
Zach Bryan's Tussle
Zach Bryan ain't one to back down, and that's damn clear after his recent showdown with singer-songwriter John Moreland. Seems ol' John took a swing at Zach on his Insta, writing, "350M is a lot to pay for the fucking off-brand version of me. Y’all have a great day."
Zachty, ever the straight-shooter, responded with a screenshot of Moreland's message and a firm statement. "Yooo just saw this from an artist I’ve always respected and supported. Not trying to be dramatic, but refuse to have anyone with a problem with me on my records. Replacing Memphis the Blues. If it goes down for a bit, just know this is the reason!"
He even added a friendly disclaimer, "No hard feelings! Confused as hell, Tulsans look out!" After a while, Zach promised to re-release the duet, assuring his fans that all is well.
Moreland, as of yet, hasn't chimed in on this latest controversy.
A Taste of Past BBQ Sauce Drama
Zach's not a stranger to stirring up controversy on social media. In the past, he's gotten himself mixed up with the likes of Taylor Swift. After dropping a remark about the Kanye-Taylor saga on Twitter, ol' Zachty deactivated his account and later stepped up to apologize, explaining that he was merely speaking from a musical perspective and supporting Kanye's discography over Taylor's.
Recent Album Deals and Controversies
A little background on Zach: ol' Zachy recently signed a monstrous record deal with Warner Records, worth an estimated 350 million big ones. This deal has turned heads and sparked some debate in the music industry.
The ongoing tension between Zach and John has put their duet, "Memphis: The Blues," in limbo. The track, originally appearing on Zach's album, "The Great American Bar Scene," has been temporarily yanked from streaming services. But don't worry, Zach has assured us that it's just a temporary hiatus before re-releasing the tune for all of us to enjoy.
That's a wrap, y'all! The country music scene's heating up, and we'll be here to keep you in the loop. Stay tuned!
