00:00Country singer Gavin Adcock doesn't believe Beyonce's Grammy award-winning album Cowboy Carter should be called country.
00:07In a now viral video of Adcock during one of his recent concerts,
00:11he told the audience that there were only three people in front of him on the Apple Music country charts, and one of them was Beyonce.
00:17He questioned the 35-time Grammy winner's latest album that notably picked up the coveted Award of Album of the Year at the Grammys, saying it ain't country music.
00:25In terms of competition, he said,
00:27You can tell her we're coming for her. That ain't country music. It ain't ever been country music, and it ain't gonna be country music.
00:35He said he thinks other artists shouldn't have to compete with her on the charts just because she's Beyonce.
00:40The singer then posted a follow-up video on Instagram.
00:43It doesn't sound country. It doesn't feel country.
00:47And I just don't think that people that have dedicated their whole lives to this genre and this lifestyle should have to compete
00:55or watch that album, just stay at the top just because she's Beyonce.
01:00Beyonce has been candid that her inspiration for Cowboy Carter emerged after she did not feel welcomed into the country genre in the past.
01:08Beyonce has continued to shatter records with Cowboy Carter.
01:11She notably became the first black woman to top Billboard's Top Country Albums chart,
01:16and at the Grammys, she earned her first album of the year win,
01:19becoming the first black woman to win Best Country Album
01:22and the first black woman to win a country Grammy in 50 years, all for Cowboy Carter.
