Gavin Adcock<\/a> is making headlines again \u2014 this time for standing up for his family mid-show.<\/p>\n The country rocker halted his set at Rock the Country in Anderson, S.C., where Nickelback and Kid Rock<\/a> also performed, after spotting a confrontation in the crowd.<\/p>\n In now-viral video footage, Adcock jumps off the stage and makes a beeline toward the commotion, where Nickelback\u2019s sound guy had allegedly tried to have the singer\u2019s father removed from the venue.<\/p>\n \u201cHey, let me tell you something real quick,\u201d the \u201cA Cigarette\u201d singer says as he pushes through the crowd. \u201cHey buddy, you\u2019re gonna lose your god–mn job, you stupid a– bum. You better f–k off back there.\u201d<\/p>\n Once back onstage, Adcock told fans exactly what went down.<\/p>\n \u201cThat was my daddy right there,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd that f–king stupid f–ker in the backwards hat right there was giving him a hard time. So f–k you, f–ker. [When] I get done with this set, I\u2019m gonna come out there and give you a piece of my mind, you piece of s–t.\u201d<\/p>\n The sound technician was reportedly escorted out by police in handcuffs.<\/p>\n After the incident, Adcock turned to TikTok<\/a> to give his side of the story.<\/p>\n \u201cOn this week\u2019s episode of dips–t of the week: Nickelback\u2019s sound guy,\u201d he began. \u201cMy family had been standing there for 17 songs. I watched them the whole show, not causing any problems.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou come up and get in my family\u2019s face, trying to get my dad kicked out? \u2026 The police drug you out on top of your head, you bum.\u201d<\/p>\n Read More:<\/strong><\/em> Who Is Gavin Adcock? 10 Songs Every New Fan Should Hear<\/a><\/p>\n Later, he offered more context, explaining that the sound guy was upset about an empty drink left on the soundboard \u2014 a drink that didn\u2019t even belong to Adcock\u2019s dad, but to his acoustic guitar player\u2019s mom.<\/p>\n \u201cSound dude comes around the corner, sees the drink, slings it off the soundboard \u2014 it\u2019s empty, by the way \u2014 and goes to cussing out my acoustic guitar player\u2019s mom,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The “Four Leaf Clover” singer continues, \u201cMy dad hears it from five to ten yards away, steps over and tells him, \u2018You better back up, dude. People from the South don\u2019t act that way.’\u201d<\/p>\n Adcock says he saw the confrontation unfold mid-performance and jumped off the stage to protect his dad.<\/p>\n \u201cHe [the sound guy] goes over and gets on his phone like a little snake. I said, he\u2019s about to do some bull–it,\u201d Adcock adds. \u201cI\u2019m up there singing ‘A Cigarette,\u2019 and I see security heading toward my dad. I just run down the alley and tell them, \u2018Nah, you ain\u2019t kicking me out \u2014 he\u2019s the one causing problems.\u2019 So security got him, took him on his way.\u201d<\/p>\n Earlier this year, he drew heat for blasting Beyonc\u00e9<\/a> and her genre-bending album Cowboy Carter<\/em><\/a> during a live show.<\/p>\n \u201cThat s–t ain\u2019t country music,\u201d he told the crowd. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t sound country. It doesn\u2019t feel country.\u201d<\/p>\n Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s Tour Is the Highest-Grossing Country Tour Ever<\/a><\/p>\n He doubled down, saying, \u201cI just don\u2019t think that people who have dedicated their whole lives to this genre and lifestyle should have to compete with an album that\u2019s No. 1 just because she\u2019s Beyonc\u00e9<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n In May, Adcock was arrested in Tennessee for reckless driving<\/a> and an open container violation.<\/p>\n Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Country Stars Charged With Awful Crimes \u2014 No. 8 Is Infuriating!<\/a><\/p>\n The country singer was stopped by the Tennessee Highway Patrol late on May 21 and released on a $1,000 bond early the next morning.<\/p>\n Even celebrities can find themselves in hot water with the law, and when that happens, the mug shots can be quite eye opening.
