Morgan Wallen Kasih Jari Tengah ke Kaos Charley Crockett yang Dibawa Gavin Adcock: Ada Apa Nih?

Jadi gini, guys, Morgan Wallen baru aja ngasih jari tengah pas lagi manggung di Rogers Centre, Toronto. Banyak netizen yang bilang ini kode keras buat ikut nimbrung di drama antara Gavin Adcock dan Charley Crockett soal definisi 'autentik' di musik country. Hmm, menarik!

Waktu Wallen konser tanggal 4 September buat tur I'm the Problem, dia ngajak Adcock ke atas panggung. Terus, Adcock ini bawa-bawa kaos yang kayaknya ada gambar Crockett-nya dan tulisan '$10 Cowboy Tour'. Kayaknya sih, kaos ini dijual online sama Crockett. Nah, di situ Wallen langsung ngacungin dua jari tengah ke arah kaos itu sambil senyum-senyum, terus lanjutin konsernya.

Sampai sekarang, timnya Wallen, Crockett, dan Adcock belum kasih komentar apa-apa ke Rolling Stone. Penasaran kan, ada apa sebenernya?

Bulan lalu, Crockett, penyanyi country asal Texas, sempet nyindir di sosmed soal definisi 'autentik' di musik country. Katanya, “Hey country folks. Beyoncé ain’t the source of your discontent. It was 25 years of bro country.” Crockett juga kayak nyindir Wallen dengan bilang, “#1 country artist on earth listen’s [sic] to nothing but rap,” dan Adcock, yang sebelumnya bilang album Cowboy Carter-nya Beyoncé “ain’t country music, and it ain’t ever been country music, and it ain’t gonna be country music.” Adcock juga sempet ngomongin ini di podcast Rolling Stone, Nashville Now.

Di postingan Instagram yang kayaknya buat nyindir Adcock, Crockett nulis: “Black music made me. I will not apologize. Raised by a single mama. I am not ashamed. Many men have tried to destroy me. I will not lose.”

Waktu giliran Crockett nongol di Nashville Now-nya Rolling Stone, dia bilang kalo “outlaw country” itu bukan subgenre musik country sekarang. “I don’t think they stand for anything. They stand for Auto-Tune and songs written by a committee,” katanya soal industri pop-country. “Outlaw was about standing up for your rights against a very rigid music business system. In a game where you throw money at a young artist, and if it doesn’t work out, no problem, because there’s 1,000 standing behind you, well, a controversial figure is unlikely to ever rise.”
