He wrote: ‘Why do you call yourself a country music site and post this kind of s***. As Nashville as it gets.
“I pray that you scum who haven’t even put your names to these accounts know how much worse the world is with you in the running.
“Never insult my parents. Never insult anyone’s parents. If anyone knows who runs this account, please tell me. I’m so sick of this shit.”

The Something In The Orange hitmaker came into the spotlight after collaborating with Kasey Musgraves on his 2023 hit I Remember Everything.

In September, he was arrested in Oklahoma for obstructing an investigation.
He was being held in the Craig County Jail.
After his release, he further explained the situation on X, formerly known as Twitter.
‘Today I had an incident with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. Emotions got the better of me and I crossed the line with what I said.
“I support law enforcement as much as anyone can, I was just frustrated at the time, it wasn’t my thing and I apologize. They took me to jail and there’s a picture of me floating around.
