Beyoncé fans strike back at Luke Bryan’s seemingly ‘racist’ comments about her snub of CMA nominations

With the Country Music Awards fast approaching in November, there’s an ongoing debate about whether Beyoncé was snubbed at the awards show or not.

Two-time Country Music Award winner Luke Bryan has been at press time to advertise his newly released album “Mind of a Country Boy” and is one of the most recent stars to talk out on the matter.

Andy Cohen asked Bryan what he thought about Beyoncé not receiving any Country Music Awards nominations this 12 months for his SiriusXM show “Andy Cohen Live.”

In the Oct. 1 excerpt, he said, “That’s a tough question because obviously Beyoncé made a country album and Beyoncé has a lot of fans that support her, and if she doesn’t get something that she wants, man, they’re gonna attack you like fans should.” . He said: “I do not understand how many albums she sold. I do know she had one song.

“Listen, I’m all for anyone coming in and making country albums and stuff like that,” he added. “Just because I do this, I don’t get any nominations.” Cohen chimed in along with his own thoughts, saying, “Sometimes a lot of great music gets overlooked.”

Agreeing along with his statements, Bryan said, “A lot of great music gets overlooked. Sometimes you don’t get nominated. Like I said, I mean the CMA has its own voting body. And they – they vote for what they think should work. Everyone loved that Beyoncé recorded a country album. Nobody gets angry about it.”

“But when things get a little complicated and… you know, if you’re going to make country albums, come into our world and be country with us for a little bit,” Bryan continued.

“For example, Beyoncé can do exactly what she wants. He is probably the biggest star in music. But come to the awards show and give us a high five. And have fun and join the family. And I’m not saying she didn’t do it. I don’t know. But country music is very much about family… but it’s not always family, we get mad at each other too.”

Bryan was right about one thing – when Beyoncé’s fans feel she has been mistreated, they haven’t any problem voicing their opinion on the matter. And that is exactly what they did after they learned of Bryan’s comments.

Under Jasmine Brand’s postone person said, “Watch out, mouf Luke,” and another person said X he wrote“Country music was invented by blacks in Tennessee, not Texas.”

A 3rd said: “This is kind of racist… Your world? black ppl start only music…”

Someone else, with a distinct perspective, wrote: “Not that he’s right, but what he means is making more country albums… but well, I have to ask a question… . How long did Eminem, Jack Harlow and all the other white boys spend in hip hop/rap before they received awards???”

A fourth wrote: “He’s right, simply because you make one country album and your name Beyoncé doesn’t routinely mean you are nominated. If she throws one other one now and it’s ignored, we’ll have something to speak about.

As for suggestions that Beyoncé should show up at the awards show and provides high-fives to other country artists, Bryan is outwardly unaware of the moment surrounding Beyoncé’s 2016 CMAs performance. This 12 months, the previous Destiny’s Child member performed a rustic single titled “Daddy Lessons” with The Dixie Chicks, now generally known as The Chicks.

Her performance was met with boos from the audience and racist comments on social media, including TMZ reported that the CMAs have cleared their social media accounts regarding the performance.

Country veteran Dolly Parton also enraged Beyoncé’s fans as she was accused in an interview with Variety of siding with the CMA over its decision.

“There are so many great country artists that probably in the field of country music, they probably thought, well, we really can’t leave out some of the guys who spend their whole lives doing this,” she explained. “But I didn’t even realize it until someone asked me that question.”

Parton then praised “Cowboy Carter,” which she lent vocals to on the ninth track on the album, “Dolly P.” It serves because the introduction to Beyonce’s rendition of Parton’s 1973 hit “Jolene,” titled “Tyrant.”

“So I do not think it was a matter of cutting myself off or doing it on purpose. “I think it was more about what the country charts and country artists were doing consistently, rather than just putting out a special album,” Parton added.

They reported that some of the comments “Diva” received were: “It’s true, people. Beyonce performed at the CMAs last night and is on a mission to take country music away from us hard working white people” and “Beyonce an overrated racist n***a.”

Someone else said: “What does @Beyonce denigrating police officers who keep us safe have to do with #CMAawards50?”

After learning that she was not welcome there, in March of that 12 months, Beyoncé revealed that “Cowboy Carter” was made for this very reason.
