The singer’s record-breaking success spotlights the divide between coastal city culture and what’s played elsewhere

Had anyone heard of this person?

It's wild that someone that huge can be just totally invisible outside of like their specific culture.

    Oh - this guy...

    [In] a video filmed in January 2021, in the thick of the Dangerous album release, the singer drunkenly shouted the N-word at friends outside his Tennessee home. Condemnation, especially mere months after nationwide Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, was swift, though temporary. His label put him on indefinite hiatus (“such behavior will not be tolerated”), Country Music Television removed his appearance from their platforms, and he was disqualified from the 2021 Grammys and the Academy of Country Music Awards.
