Why did Zach Bryan jump a barbed wire fence at the Born & Raised Fest? Drama explained

Video clips of Zach Bryan jumping a barbed wire fence have been going viral online. The country singer was at the Born & Raised Fest in his hometown in Oklahoma. The reason why Bryan jumped the fence is that he spotted fellow country singer and songwriter Gavin Adcock on the other side.

Gavin Adcock criticizes Zach Bryan's response to a young fan

The drama goes back all the way to July after Bryan performed a three-night gig at MetLife Stadium. After the second day, fans expressed their disappointment when Zach did not meet them for after photos.

A 14-year-old fan took to TikTok repeatedly posting about it to incite some sort of reaction from the 29-year-old singer, to which he responded in the comments, saying:

"You're not entitled after someone plays two and a half hours to a picture or a hello. I went out and took pictures both night one and night three I had a third show the next day and it was late, needed rest…. GOMD."

Many were not happy with Bryan's reply, especially the last bit, and Gavin Adcock was one of them. He took to X to say:

"If you can't handle the criticism of a 14 year old why do people idolize you? That kid was head over heels to meet you and spent/ parents spent a ton of money to see you. He’s got feeling too and a you’re a “grown man” nearly 30. They’re the only reason you are around."

Adcock brought it up again during an interview with Rolling Stone on their Nashville Now podcast. He reiterated that what did not sit well with him was telling a teenager to "get off my d**k," and not really about Bryan refusing to sign autographs.

In Adcock's words:

"It wasn't about not wanting to sign autographs after a show. It's just letting a 14-year-old kid rant without saying, 'Get off my d**k.' I think Zach Bryan puts on a big mask in his day-to-day life, and sometimes he can't help but rip it off and show his true colors. I don't know if Zach Bryan’s really that great of a person."

The host joked about how Gavin will never be invited to open for Zach, to which he responded:

"I ain't worried about it.... I wouldn't say Zach Bryan is my buddy. I ain't his buddy. He ain't my buddy. I never met the guy. Seen a bunch of stuff about him; [I'm] sure he's seen a bunch of stuff about me. I don't need him."

Zach Bryan's fence-jumping moment has only added fuel to his ongoing feud with Gavin Adcock, drawing massive attention online. Fans are left wondering if this rivalry will escalate beyond words and viral clips.
