Country music stars in war of words over $350 million label deal, song pulled
Zach Bryan and John Moreland are feuding. As a result, Bryan pulled a song the two country music stars worked on from his streaming service.
Moreland, who worked with Bryan on “Memphis; the Blues,” a song off the “Great American Bar Scene” album took a shot about Bryan’s deal with his Warner Music label deal and an agreement to sell his publishing catalog.
He posted to his Instagram Stories, per Taste of Country, that read “$350M is a lot of money to pay for the fu–kin off-brand version of me.”
Bryan shot back on his Instagram story.
“Yooo just saw this from an artist I’ve always respected and supported,” he posted. “Not trying to be dramatic but refuse to have anyone with a problem with me on my records.
“No hard feelings! Confused as s–t, Tulsans look out for Tulsans.”
Moreland then returned fire, suggesting he didn’t know who Bryan was prior to working with him.
“(I) didn’t have the great impression, but it was no big deal, whatever,” Moreland posted.
“I don’t like this motherf–ker. … If I was asked to be on the album today, I wouldn’t do it.
“I don’t wanna be on an album who is a d–khead to my wife and my friends right in front of me every time I see him.
“I don’t wanna be on an album with a dude who I’ve heard tell borderline racist jokes more than once. I don’t wanna be on an album with a dude who brings a 19-year-old girl in the bar, and then when they tell him she can’t be in there, looks at me like I’m supposed to have his f–king back.”
He then added one more shot:
“As far as I’m concerned, getting kicked off a Zach Bryan album is way f–king cooler than being on a Zach Bryan album.”
