“OK, so I’ll simply say yet another factor about it and I’m gonna get again to my actual life and let y’all have enjoyable on the web. Once I was requested to be on that album, I didn’t know that dude. By no means met him.
“Only a actually massive artist from the place I’m from [Tulsa, Oklahoma], asking me to be on a file. Cool. First time I met him, we recorded the track. Like, didn’t have the best impression, however no massive deal — no matter, superb.
“Then we record the song. The album comes out like a month later. I had met him once at that point.”

“At this level, I’ve frolicked with him 5, six instances. I don’t like this motherf–ker. Like, am I alleged to be upset? If I used to be requested to be on the album right now, I wouldn’t do it. I don’t need to be on an album with a dude who’s a dickhead to my spouse and my associates proper in entrance of me each time I see him.
” I don’t need to be on an album with a dude who I’ve heard inform borderline racist jokes greater than as soon as. I don’t need to be on an album with a dude who brings a 19-year-old lady within the bar, after which after they inform him she will be able to’t be in there, seems at me like I’m alleged to have his fucking again. I don’t like that individual.”
Moreland concluded with a mic drop, quipping:
“ As far as I’m concerned, getting kicked off a Zach Bryan album is way f-cking cooler than being on a Zach Bryan album.”
Bryan has but to answer Moreland’s newest jabs. He may simply select to stay silent on this one.
In spite of everything, the very last thing Zach Bryan wants is one other messy feud.
