Zach Bryan<\/a> and Gavin Adcock were involved in a heated confrontation that nearly turned physical at the Born & Raised Festival in Pryor, Oklahoma.<\/p>\n On Saturday (Sept. 13), the two country artists were caught on camera in a verbal altercation just moments before Adcock, 26, was scheduled to perform at the event.<\/p>\n More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n A video clip, shared on Instagram<\/a> by Adcock, shows the singers arguing from opposite sides of a chain-link fence.<\/p>\n \u201cHey, do you want to fight like a man? Come open the gate,\u201d Bryan, 29, is heard saying before angrily shoving the fence.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you get death threats from Sack Cryin before you headline in his hometown,\u201d Adcock wrote over the short clip, using a mocking nickname for Bryan. He captioned the post, \u201cEat a snickers bro.\u201d<\/p>\n In another video posted to Facebook<\/a>, Bryan is seen climbing over the barbed-wire-topped fence and lunging toward Adcock before being restrained by security. Adcock is shown walking away while escorted by a guard.<\/p>\n Adcock faced criticism in the comments section, with one user writing, \u201cHe scaled a barbed wire fence \u2026 and you didn\u2019t do s\u2014t and hid behind security \u2026 this lil clip ain\u2019t fooling anybody.\u201d Adcock responded, \u201cHad a show to play for Oklahoma. Wasn\u2019t going to jail over that Psycho,\u201d according to Penn Live<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n Billboard<\/em> has reached out to representatives for both Bryan and Adcock for comment.<\/p>\n The confrontation appears to be the latest chapter in an ongoing feud between the two country singers, which began earlier this summer.<\/p>\n In mid-July, Adcock seemed to throw shade at Bryan over an interaction involving a 14-year-old fan who was disappointed after not receiving an autograph from the \u201cI Remember Everything\u201d singer. In a since-deleted TikTok comment following the second night of Bryan\u2019s three-show run at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, Bryan wrote, \u201cYou\u2019re not entitled after someone plays two and a half hours to a picture or a hello,\u201d adding the NSFW acronym \u201cGOMD.\u201d<\/p>\n Adcock later responded on X<\/a>, criticizing Bryan\u2019s handling of the situation. \u201cIf you can\u2019t handle the criticism of a 14 year old why do people idolize you?\u201d he wrote. \u201cThat kid was head over heels to meet you and spent\/ parents spent a ton of money to see you. He\u2019s got feeling too and a you\u2019re a \u2018grown man\u2019 nearly 30. They\u2019re the only reason you are around.\u201d<\/p>\n Adcock expanded on his criticism<\/a> during an appearance on Rolling Stone<\/em>\u2019s Nashville Now<\/em> podcast.<\/p>\n \u201cIt wasn\u2019t about not wanting to sign autographs after a show, it\u2019s like letting a 14-year-old kid rant, without saying, \u2018get off my d\u2014k.\u2019 You\u2019re bigger than that,\u201d he said. \u201cI think Zach Bryan puts on a big mask in his day-to-day life and sometimes he can\u2019t help but rip it off and show his true colors,\u201d he said, without elaborating on what those \u201ctrue colors\u201d might be.<\/p>\n Despite the public feud, Adcock admitted he has never met Bryan. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t say Zach Bryan is my buddy,\u201d he told the podcast. \u201cI ain\u2019t his buddy, he ain\u2019t my buddy. I ain\u2019t met the guy. I don\u2019t need him.\u201d<\/p>\n Best of Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Billboard’s Newsletter<\/a>.
