Don\u2019t expect country music stars Zach Bryan and Gavin Adcock to share a bill anytime soon. The two, who have been sparring verbally for weeks, got into a face-to-face altercation at a music festival in Oklahoma on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The confrontation happened at the Born & Raised Festival in Pryor, Okla., just before Adcock stepped on stage to perform. <\/p>\n
A video, shared by Adcock on Instagram<\/a>, shows Adcock and Bryan staring each other down and yelling through a chain-link fence topped with barbed wire.<\/p>\n \u201cHey, you want to fight like a man?\u201d Bryan says in the video clip, calling for someone to open the gate separating the two men. Other clips show Bryan<\/a> climbing over the barbed-wire top of the fence and Adcock standing back as security personnel come between them. <\/p>\n Text superimposed on Adcock\u2019s Instagram video alleged that Bryan made \u201cdeath threats\u201d during the spat, along with the comment: \u201cEat a snickers bro.\u201d He added another insult while signing someone\u2019s cowboy hat<\/a> later that day.<\/p>\n Adcock, who has 725,000 Instagram followers, released an album called \u201cOwn Worst Enemy\u201d in August. He sparked controversy<\/a> in June when he criticized Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s \u201cCowboy Carter\u201d album on stage, brandishing a bottle while saying \u201cthat s\u2014 ain\u2019t country music, and it ain\u2019t never been country music and it ain\u2019t never gonna be country music.\u201d (Earlier this year, Beyonc\u00e9 won Grammys<\/a> for album of the year and country album for \u201cCowboy Carter.\u201d) <\/p>\n Bryan, 29, who was in the Navy before reaching fame as country\/American singer and songwriter, has 4.9 million Instagram followers. Bryan released his last album, \u201cZach Bryan,\u201d in 2023. A New York Times profile labeled him \u201cmusic\u2019s most reluctant new star.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n Adcock and Bryan\u2019s beef dates to July, when Adcock slammed Bryan for being thin-skinned and not doing a meet-and-greet appearance with fans after a show. Later, Adcock added more harsh words in an interview on Rolling Stone\u2019s \u201cNashville Now.\u201d<\/a> <\/p>\n \u201cI think Zach Bryan puts on a big mask in his day-to-day life and sometimes he can\u2019t help but rip it off and show his true colors,\u201d Adcock said. \u201cI don\u2019t know if Zach Bryan\u2019s really that great of a person.\u201d<\/p>\n Representatives for Adcock and Bryan did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n
