Kane Brown revealed recently he’s had to deal with racism in the country music industry.

Brown, the “Heaven” singer, told Jake Paul on the “Impaulsive Podcast“ about instances without giving names.

“I remember — I ain’t gonna say a name because I don’t want to throw him under the bus — but there was one writer that said he wouldn’t write with me because I’m black,” Brown said.

“I confronted them and everything and they apologized to me at the bar.

“There’s another big writer who had like 30 No. 1s that said the same thing.”

Brown said the writer had a different tune when the singer became more popular.

“He apologized whenever we blew up and was trying to write with me and I said no.”

Both incidents happened early in his career.

“Nobody believed it,” he said.
