Country music star’s blunt two-word message for people who hate America
A concert in Nashville, Tennessee, took on a patriotic twist over the weekend after a country star known professionally as Hardy shared a message for all those who hate America.
The star said in just two blunt words: ‘F*** you’.
During his appearance at Neyland Stadium on Friday, he told the crowd that he had seen many people posting and “talking nonsense” about life in the United States of America and that he was defending the country in front of thousands of people.
“As an American citizen, I say, fuck off!” he said, raising his middle finger.

With just two blunt words – ‘f*** you’ – the star responded to people on social media and other artists who were badmouthing the fact that they live in the United States of America
“If you don’t like living here, live somewhere else, motherf****r! The United States is the best country on the planet!”
Hardy noted that there has been madness over the past year, especially in the run-up to the upcoming election.
But he also spoke of how “damn proud” he was to be an American, saying thousands of people work hard every day to defend the land of the free.
“They put their lives on the line so we can go to concerts!” he said before announcing his next song.
Hardy addressed the crowd, saying he was “damn proud” to be an American – a place where people work their butts off every day “so we can go to concerts.”
After his patriotic speech, the crowd went into an uproar, cheering, clapping and shouting for the country star.
And hundreds of users on X, formally known as Twitter, appear to fully agree with his words.
A user said: ‘Hardy! So good in concert and speaks the TRUTH!’
Another user said: ‘I don’t know who Hardy is, but now I’m a fan.’
This comes as celebrities and other artists face criticism for their views and opinions on the state of the country.
On Saturday, rapper and Grammy winner Macklemore was captured on video saying “f*** America” on stage at a pro-Palestinian festival in Seattle, according to KOMO.
The commentary was followed by cheers from the crowd, but the reaction on social media was very different.
Many felt that the artist was criticizing a country that gives people like him the chance to become stars and make it in life.
A user on X wrote: ‘Shame. This country made Macklemore possible. Where else could he have become rich and famous?’
Another user said: ‘He likes to receive US dollars. Hypocritical.’
Seattle Kraken and Seattle Sounders FC issued a joint statement in response to Macklemore’s comments, saying they are aware of his “increasingly diverse comments” and that they do not reflect their values, according to KOMO.
On Tuesday, a spokesperson for the Seattle Mariners gave a statement to KOMO News saying, “We are aware of the incident and agree with other teams in the city: sports and music should unite us, not divide us.”
Macklemore has voiced his opinions on certain topics and has used his artistry to release controversial songs.

In May, the artist released “Hind’s Hall,” a song praising the anti-Israel camps and protests that have broken out on college campuses across the country.
According to the newspaper, the song also took President Biden, the police and the music industry to task. New York Post.
This month, the rapper released a second version of the song, in which he denounces Vice President Kamala Harris.
Macklemore threatens the Democratic candidate with losing her support in the state of Michigan.
“Hey Kamala, I don’t know if you’re listening, but stop sending money and guns, or you won’t win Michigan. We’re not committed and no, we’re not changing our position, ’cause the whole world’s turning Palestinian,” the song reads.
As election season approaches, the country seems to be growing even more divided. But Hardy’s patriotic tirade to the crowd seemed to unite concertgoers and social media for a moment.
