The Country Music Boys are Beefing


Two months ago Beyoncé dropped "The Renaissance Act II: Cowboy Carter" album featuring a slew of Black country music artists including Willie Jones and Shaboozey [click here if you missed that].  

Since then Shaboozey has snagged the No.1 spot on the Billboard chart with his single "Bar Song," but not without a public critique from Willie Jones...

It all started when Willie commented on the lack of melanated folks in Shaboozey's video claiming Boo looked like a fly in a bowl of milk. 

When Shaboozey asked why this had to happen online, Willie told him it's because you don't pick up the phone anymore. 



The BeyHive was NOT happy about Willie airing family business online and let him know, but he doubled down.

Why can't we ever get along? The lane is small in country music for African Americans so just make up in public and focus on your careers.

What in the Elvis Presley country music??? That bar song video??
1. Don't even sound like a real voice
2. Dude is quoting/singing JKwon's Tipsy.
3. I know he melanated, but that Willie fella is right, because you're the representation but you're not showing representation. You know your market.

If they are incorporating hip hop songs into country songs now that CMA audience need to start showing more diversity.

I don't know today been rubbing me the wrong way with this avoidance/absorption direction. Been that way though.

I'm looking at both videos and I see light to bright girls. Neither is repping black folks in the background.
B is doing country for this reason. She was treated badly when she sang at Grand Ole Klux Klan Opera.
Nelly is the only person that gave us Black folks in the country videos.
Some of us want to be accepted by Yt's that we want honor our own. Blacks think, "If I put Yt ppl in my video then they will like me and I'll be famous". Sorry but that want work. The question is who are they dating? YT toes?

He should’ve sent a DM if Shaboozey didn’t answer the phone. Why wait until the Beyoncé exposure to cut a fool?! Smh

Light skinned is still Black. That Shaboozy dude isn’t even Black American/Ados, he’s Nigerian.

I haven’t watched the videos
Just here to say I love seeing black people at the top of country charts
We can’t be stopped when given a chance
That’s why they fight to keep us out of spaces
