(NEXSTAR) – A scandal sparked by a couple of indiscreet Coldplay fans at a concert in Massachusetts last week is providing fodder for country musicians at their own recent shows.

“I’m the Problem” singer Morgan Wallen, at a concert in Arizona on Friday, made light of the mega-viral incident between songs, telling the crowd they’re probably “safe” from the jumbotron.

“Anybody in here with their side chick, or whatever, I think you’re safe here,” he joked, as seen in video shared to social media.

“I don’t condone cheating,” he continued, pausing before adding the word “anymore.”

The day before, “American Idol” judge Luke Bryan also made an apparent reference to the incident during a tour stop in South Carolina, posing a very silly question to his fans.

“Who’s here with their secretary tonight?” the “Love You, Miss You, Mean It” singer asked after warning of “cameras” pointed at the audience, as seen in video shared to TikTok.

“Don’t get caught tonight,” he added, laughing. “Do not get caught tonight.”

The clip that sparked the “Coldplaygate” scandal went viral last week. In it, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin saw two concertgoers on the stadium’s jumbotron and initially assumed he was looking at a couple enjoying the show. But after they hastily hid their faces from view, Martin joked to the crowd that “either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”

The uncomfortable moment quickly took off on social media, prompting users to try and identify the couple, and whether either of them were actually married to other people. Two executives at a NYC-based tech company were identified by internet sleuths as the alleged concertgoers, but the company — Astronomer — did not comment on the video.

Astronomer, however, later released a statement to announce that CEO Andy Byron had “tendered his resignation.”

“As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,” the statement read, in part.
