Country singer Gavin Adcock is proving how some in America still have a problem when it comes to Beyoncé’s voyage into the country music genre.

In a video posted to Instagram on Monday, filmed during one of his recent concerts, Adcock delivered a whiskey-fueled speech that served as a warning of sorts to the Houston native.

“There’s only three people in front of me on the Apple Music country charts, and one of them is Beyoncé,” Adcock declared. “You can tell her we’re coming for her fucking ass.”

As the crowd cheered in approval, Adcock doubled down: “That shit ain’t country music, it ain’t ever been country music and it ain’t gonna be country music.”

With the volume on his ego turned to the max, Adcockfollowed up with another Instagram video posted the same day.

“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 said. “It doesn’t sound country, it doesn’t feel country, and I just don’t think that people that have dedicated their whole lives to this genre and this lifestyle should have to compete or watch that album just stay at the top just because she’s Beyoncé.”

At the Grammys in February, Bey took home Album of the Year for “Cowboy Carter” while also becoming the most-awarded artist in the show’s history.

However, she is no stranger to intense scrutiny in the country music world. In March, when she released the cover art to her album, she included a caption that spoke to how she wasn’t accepted into the genre.

“This album has been over five years in the making. It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed…and it was very clear that I wasn’t,” she wrote. “But, because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of Country music and studied our rich musical archive.”

The “Texas Hold ’Em” singer continued: “The criticisms I faced when I first entered this genre forced me to propel past the limitations that were put on me. act ii is a result of challenging myself, and taking my time to bend and blend genres together to create this body of work.”
