Gavin Adcock Benjamin Tod Feud<\/span><\/p> It’s plausible that Adcock felt like he might be one of those fast-rising stars Tod was railing against in the interview.<\/p>\n Adcock has said on\u00a0The Bobby Bones Show<\/em><\/a> that he didn’t start really playing guitar until he was 22\u00a0(he’s 27 now).<\/p>\n Read More<\/em>: Who is Gavin Adcock? Here Are His Best Songs<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n His first taste of fame also came from a viral video, though that clip didn’t have a whole lot to do with his music. It was a viral beer-chugging video<\/a>\u00a0that dates back to his football days \u2014\u00a0and actually wound up getting him suspended from the team.<\/p>\n It’s also possible that he doesn’t believe in the idea that artists should play for a pittance when they’re cutting their teeth.<\/p>\n In that same\u00a0Bobby Bones<\/em> interview, he told a story about trying to play a bar in his hometown, but the owner told him he’d only get paid a portion of the total drinks sold that night. Adcock says he went across the street to another bar where he’d get paid $300, and when he wound up bringing in a packed house, the owner paid him $500 instead.<\/p>\n Tod didn’t mince words.<\/p>\n He said Adcock’s reaction was “completely emblematic of why people like Gavin Adcock cannot represent country music, and pointed out that “95 percent of our industry” performs at bars, often for low pay.<\/p>\n “You know many years Willie Nelson burned up the road? Don’t even get me started on the Louvin Brothers, Waylon [Jennings], Johnny [Cash],” Tod continued.<\/p>\n “You have no f–king concept of the relationship between talent and success and the inequalities that exist throughout this industry,” he continued, “that lend to someone like you getting power easily.”<\/p>\n He also called Adcock “an entitled little brat” who “got handed everything in life.”<\/p>\n “You are a lazy, stupid, shiftless motherf–ker,” Tod continued, also saying that Adcock’s actions don’t fit what he describes as his Christian faith.<\/p>\n “I’ll see you at Stagecoach, motherf–ker,” he said as a sign-off in his response to Adcock.<\/p>\n Though that in itself isn’t\u00a0directly<\/em> a nod to the singer’s near-fight with Zach Bryan, it does seem like Tod was alluding to that incident, especially when coupled with the caption of his post: “Who needs to jump a fence when you’re a hand grenade?”<\/p>\n Adcock has beefed with several other artists at this point, and by our count, he’s started every last one of those feuds.<\/p>\n In addition to Bryan, Adcock has also taken shots at Beyonc\u00e9<\/a>, Charley Crockett<\/a> and Nickelback’s sound guy<\/a>.<\/p>\n Read More<\/em>: Zach Bryan Hops Fence, Tries to Fight Gavin Adcock in Oklahoma<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Their responses have been varied, from Beyonc\u00e9 (radio silence) to Bryan (scaled a fence to try and start a brawl.)<\/p>\n But from Tod’s response, it sounds like there’s at least a small probability that, come Stagecoach next spring, he might ask Adcock\u00a0to repeat those fightin’ words, right to his face.<\/p>\n Adcock might be making some enemies in country music, but he’s got some powerful friends, too. He counts Morgan Wallen<\/a> as a buddy. Wallen even seemed to take Adcock’s side<\/a> in his Charley Crockett beef during an onstage moment back in September.<\/p>\n A traditionalist at heart who’s also not afraid to push genre boundaries and incorporate novel sounds, Gavin Adcock is walking his own line in country music. <\/p>\n What other country artists incorporate grunge rock, blues and yodeling \u2014 sometimes even in the same song?
