This week, after Wrangler jeans announced a new yee haw agenda capsule collection with Lil Nas X, some country music fans are calling for a full-out boycott.
The limited edition pieces are a nod to Lil Nas Xs No. 1 hit, Old Town Road, which features country star Billy Ray Cyrus. Cowboy hat from Gucci/Wrangler on my booty/Cant nobody tell me nothin, X rhymes. The song hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts last month
But some saddle-bagged skin tags are feeling real burned by the thought that their favorite dungaree brand would dare collaborate with a young, black, musician.
Lil Nas X speaks for most of us when he replied to the drama with a simple tweet: Yall really boycotting Wrangler?? Is it that deep?
Yes it is that deep!
This is all it took to be triggered

Bitchers are always going to find something to bitch about.

(6,297 posts)...ergo neither is this crap. Pop country, and rap country is just pop and rap with a poor imitation of a country twang. Ain't no country to it. A lot of people don't realize it, but with few exceptions, country music died several years ago. These two guys can say it better than I can.

(48,063 posts)It's just as country as all that other country that's out there right now. Right now.
For people to say that modern white pop country is country but modern black pop country ain't, is bullshit.
And also racist. (But that's not surprising in the least, is it.)
