I saw him on the news yesterday, hadn’t heard about him before that. I’d suggest finding an article that talks about it, but here’s some of the info (some from memory, some from the web, so apologies if it’s slightly inaccurate or missing info):

He wrote a controversial song (“Try That In A Small Town”) that some people were claiming was racist while others defended it. The music video ended up getting taken down due to the controversy. The video showed footage of BLM protests, along with showing violence and other crimes. Some lyrics include:

“Try that in a small town/ See how far ya make it down the road/ Around here, we take care of our own”

And

“Got a gun that my granddad gave me/ They say one day they’re gonna round up/ Well that shit might fly in the city/ Good luck”

He’s mostly getting defended by republicans if you were curious. I know he was also singing in front of the Maury County Courthouse, which had an 18 year old black man get hanged for alleged assault of a white woman who never identified the man as the assailant. It also showed the building on fire and the American flag burning too. There’s some other imagery as well that I can’t quite remember now, again I’d suggest finding an article on it.

Hopefully that helps to answer some questions

Just feeds into the image of these losers who think being a man means picking on minorities. Pathetic.

He made a tough-guy song glorifying vigilantism and promoting gun culture. The gun part is especially rich considering he was performing during the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting, the deadliest mass shooting carried out by a single person in the US (so far).
