Charley Crockett<\/a> took to social media Tuesday to explain his side of a controversy that kicked off in July when he dropped self-described “satanic\u00a0doo-wop” group Twin Temple from opening two shows on his tour.\u00a0The Texas country singer and former Dallasite also called out a famous rocker.<\/p>\n

“As for Jack White, he used it to sell tickets too and I lost a lot of respect for him,”\u00a0Crockett wrote. “I wonder why he wasn\u2019t so outspoken back when he was in the white stripes 20 something years ago.”<\/p>\n

Crockett’s\u00a0jab refers to White’s invite<\/a> to Twin Temple to open for him\u00a0after\u00a0Crockett’s decision. The duo has been confirmed to open for White this September in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

White responded to Crockett online late on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“I never said nothing about this young buck before but since he\u2019s trying to drag me into this here rodeo again, here’s my official response to Cowboy Charley\u2019s accusations,” White posted.<\/p>\n

What followed\u00a0were verses from the 1984 hip-hop song Rappin’ Duke, which portrays actor John Wayne as a rapper. The selection includes references to rappers Kurtis Blow and Run D.M.C. as well as to then-President Ronald Reagan.<\/p>\n

Crockett seemingly responded to White by posting a short clip<\/a> of\u00a0Marlon Brando in the 1961 film\u00a0One-Eyed Jacks.<\/p>\n

“You’re the one-eyed Jack around here man. I’ve seen the other side of your face,” Brando says.<\/p>\n

After being dropped\u00a0from a pair of West Coast shows\u00a0in July, Twin Temple said<\/a> Crockett removed them because of their\u00a0satanic imagery.<\/p>\n

Crockett disputed that characterization in his Tuesday post, saying the group “made it up” and that the decision came after some unusual production requests and seeing what they were doing onstage. Back in July,\u00a0Crockett said in a statement<\/a>: \u201cI thought they were like Black Sabbath, but they ain\u2019t. Not today, Satan.”<\/p>\n

Twin Temple has since appeared on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show\u00a0and is planning to release\u00a0a new album, Doomed Lovers, in October.<\/p>\n
