Gavin Adcock labels Charley Crockett a “Cosplay Cowboy” in growing Beyoncé Country feud

Gavin Adcock calls Charley Crockett a “Cosplay Cowboy” amidst growing beef.

Country stars Gavin Adcock and Charley Crockett seem to be beefing, creating havoc in the country music world. This all started when Crockett seemed to be shading Morgan Wallen for being the No. 1 country artist on the planet on Theo Von's This Past Weekend podcast for stating he doesn't tend to listen to much country music in his spare time. He then went on to defend Beyoncé, who ventured into the country field with her album "Cowboy Carter."

He wrote in his Instagram caption, "Hey country folks. @beyonce ain’t the source of your discontent. It was 25 years of bro country. #1 country artist on earth listen’s to nothing but rap. Openly says he doesn’t really know any country music. Gotta respect his honesty. The machine points to a black woman who’s making a statement about marginalized people being removed from the conversation altogether, and somehow we all act like the entire pop industry didn’t just ambush roots music."

Charley Crockett further added, "These “country boys” been *singing* over trap beats for years. So what’s different now? Authenticity. Many of those business folks called me early on. They had whole albums pre written and recorded ready to just plug me in. I have receipts. It’s harder than ever to keep the public’s attention. They said and I quote “we wanna get into country music where you have audience loyalty.” Hot today, forgot tomorrow. I don’t need to put down a black woman to advance my music. That’s just embarrassing to the idea of America and I got no respect for it. Somebody asked me why I listen to @bigxthaplug the other day. Easy. He’s genuine. A true story teller. The best hip hop sound to come out of Texas in this century. The challenges country music faces aren’t unique. It’s an issue in every *genre*. I don’t have a problem with Americana. I have a problem with being compartmentalized by the music business."

"Outlaw as a *sub genre* of country was artists standing up for their rights against a rigid system. Ain’t no reason to imitate @officialwaylon and @willienelsonofficial if you ain’t about the fight. Texas forever." He concluded.

Gavin Adcock's response

The situation took a nosedive when Gavin Adcock immediately came to Wallen's defence. He tweeted,

Somebody needs to tell the “act” that has let out (the cover) of James town ferry 6 times he should just work on letting out quality original music I got more cowsh*t under my pinky then you have seen your whole fuckin life. Hank sr called and asked about the cosplay cowboy
