Rising country star Parker McCollum is defending Jason Aldean and Miranda Lambert in the wake of their respective music controversies.
“Hilarious to hear the media accuse Jason Aldean of writing a song that ‘promotes violence’ when nearly every rap song for the past 30 years has directly and enthusiastically glorified murder, drug dealing, robbery and every other violent crime, and these people say nothing,” read a tweetWhile Aldean initially released his track in May, its new music video dropped on Friday, July 14 — and with it came an onslaught of controversy.
“Got a gun that my granddad gave me / They say one day they’re gonna round up / Well, that s–t might fly in the city, good luck,” he sings. “Try that in a small town / See how far ya make it down the road / You cross that line, it won’t take long / For you to find out, I recommend you don’t / Try that in a small town.”
