Country singer Gavin Adcock has unleashed the fury of the BeyHive.

The “Four Leaf Clover” singer recently incited the rage of Beyoncé‘s dedicated fanbase as the latest country artist to take issue with her Grammy-winning record, Cowboy Carter. In fan-recorded footage of a recent concert, Adcock lamented his album, My Own Worst Enemy, being at fourth place on Apple Music’s country albums chart.

While ranting about the albums that placed ahead of his, he at one point complained, “One of them’s Beyoncé— you can tell her we’re coming for her f—in’ ass. That s— ain’t country music and it ain’t ever been country music and it ain’t gonna be country music.”

Adcock punctuated his point by raising his bottle in the air and pointing at the cheering crowd. Signaling his band, he continued, “We’re about to play y’all some Southern f—in’ rock. Y’all hit that s—, boys.”

After days of his comments circulating social media, Adcock addressed the viral clip in a June 30 Instagram post, doubling down on his sentiments.

“I’ma go ahead and clear this up,” he began. “When I was a little kid, my mama was blasting some Beyoncé in the car. I’ve heard a ton of Beyoncé songs and I actually remember her Super Bowl Halftime Show being pretty kick-ass back in the day. But I really don’t believe her album should be labeled as country music.”

Adcock continued, “It doesn’t sound country, it doesn’t feel country, and I just don’t think that people that have dedicated their whole lives to this genre and this lifestyle should have to compete or watch that album just stay at the top just because she’s Beyoncé.”

Adcock also offered a sly reference to the backlash on his Instagram Stories, posting a photo of shirt that read, “Maybe I am the drama,” with another that read, “If you find me offensive then I suggest you quit finding me.” He added three bee emojis to the post.

In a separate post, Adcock shared angry DMs he received with the caption, “Such nice fans you have, Beyoncé.”

At the time of publication, Apple Music’s country albums chart sees Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem reigning at No. 1, with Parker McCollum’s self-titled project at No. 2, Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter in third and Adcock’s record at No. 4.

The “A Cigarette” singer is far from the first to take issue with Beyoncé’s recent foray into the country genre. Much of the country establishment was wary to embrace the project, with detractors speaking out and some country stations initially refusing to play her music. But the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer also had the support of various stalwarts, with the album featuring collaborations with such country pioneers as Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, and Linda Martell; contemporary country crossover stars Miley Cyrus and Post Malone; and a host of upcoming Black country artists, including Brittney Spencer, Shaboozey, and Willie Jones.

Beyonceé additionally shared that the idea for Cowboy Carter arose after the Houston native felt she was being excluded from country music spaces. 

“It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed… and it was very clear that I wasn’t,” she said on social media. “But, because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of Country music and studied our rich musical archive.”

Ultimately, the album arrived to massive success. The singer made history as the first Black woman to hit No. 1 on Billboard‘s Top Country Albums chart and the lead single “Texas Hold ‘Em” went straight to No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Songs chart, another historic first for a Black woman. Earlier this year, Beyoncé took home Album of the Year, Best Country Album, and Best Country Duo/Group Performance at the Grammy Awards. 

She has since embarked on the Cowboy Carter tour, which sees her performing in nine cities across the U.S. and Europe. The grand finale is set to take place in Las Vegas on July 26.
