Country singer Gavin Adcock blasts Beyonce's 'Cowboy Carter' album, says it's 'not country music'

Adcock brought up the Apple Music country album chart rankings during his performance. Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" is listed at No. 3, while his album, "Own Worst Enemy," sits at No. 4.

"That s--- ain't country music, and it ain't ever been country music."

The "Run Your Mouth" singer later made it clear his criticisms weren't personal in a social media video he captioned, "It ain't country."

"But, because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of Country music and studied our rich musical archive. It feels good to see how music can unite so many people around the world, while also amplifying the voices of some of the people who have dedicated so much of their lives educating on our musical history."

Reps for Adcock and Beyoncé did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
