Gavin Adcock trashes Beyoncé and her ‘Cowboy Carter’ album

It’s a real-life hoedown.

Country music star Gavin Adcock, 26, recently targeted Beyoncé because her “Cowboy Carter” album is topping his in the country music charts.

The one-sided conflict started recently when the singer of “My Own Worst Enemy” began angrily talking about the singer of “Texas Hold ‘Em” and her Grammy-winning album during a live performance.

“Cowboy Carter” currently sits at No. 3 on Apple Music’s country albums chart, while Adcock’s album follows at No. 4.

“You can tell her we’re coming for her f–king ass,” Adcock said, according to a video from the show. “That s–t ain’t country music, and it ain’t ever been country music, and it ain’t gonna be country music.”

After the clip of his rant went viral on social media, Adcock took to Instagram on Monday, June 30, to double down on his thoughts about the 43-year-old superstar and her country album.

“I’m gonna go ahead and clear this up,” Adcock began. “When I was a little kid, my mama was blasting some Beyoncé in the car. I’ve heard a ton of Beyoncé songs, and I actually remember her Super Bowl halftime show being pretty kick ass back in the day.”

“But I really don’t believe that her album should be labeled as country music,” he continued. “It doesn’t sound country. It doesn’t feel country.”

Adcock ended his Instagram video by saying that it wasn’t fair country stars like himself “should have to compete” against the former Destiny’s Child star.

“And I just don’t think that people who have dedicated their whole lives to this genre and this lifestyle should have to compete or watch that album just to stay at the top just because she’s Beyoncé,” he concluded.

The “A Cigarette” singer’s surprising remarks about “Cowboy Carter” came months after Beyoncé beat out Post Malone, Kacey Musgraves, Chris Stapleton and Lainey Wilson for Best Country Album at the 2025 Grammy Awards.

Beyoncé talked about the country music genre during her acceptance speech, and she also thanked all of the country artists who joined her on the record – including country legends Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson.

“Wow, I really was not expecting this,” the “Blackbird” singer began back in February. “Wow! I want to thank God. Oh my God! That I am able to still do what I love after so many years.”

“I’d like to thank all of the incredible country artists that accepted this album. We worked so hard on it,” she continued. “I think sometimes genre is a code word to keep us in our place as artists and I just want to encourage people to do what they’re passionate about and stay persistent.”

“Cowboy Carter” also went on to win Album of the Year at the 2025 Grammy Awards.

The Post has reached out to Beyoncé’s rep for comment.

Meanwhile, Adcock’s remarks over the weekend and Monday also came just a few weeks after the young country music star was arrested in Tennessee for reckless driving and violation of open container laws on May 21.

The “Deep End” singer’s mugshot, which was obtained by The Post shortly after his arrest, showed Adcock giving a huge smile despite his newfound legal trouble.
