Adeem Maria, 35, of Knoxville, Tenn., had the internet in hysterics over his takedown of the troublesome tune.
“Please share it around & enjoy! I love COUNTRY MUSIC! & how inclusive it is,” he snarks in the tweet.
Aldean has since defended his creation, writing in an Instagram story: “In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song and was subject to the comparison that I was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous. Aldean attends the 54th Academy Of Country Music Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena on April 07, 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada.“‘Try That In A Small Town, for me, refers to the feeling of a community that I had growing up, where we took care of our neighbors, regardless of differences of background or belief. Because they were our neighbors, and that was above any differences,” he went on., tweeting to fans that he doesn’t believe Aldean is a racist — just a bad songwriter.
