Zach Bryan Jumps A Fence, Charges Gavin Adcock At Oklahoma Music Festival Over Past Comments
On September 13, both singers were scheduled to take part in the Born & Raised Festival in Pryor, Oklahoma. However, tensions reached an all-time high behind the scenes.
Social media videos show it all. In one clip, Bryan can be seen yelling at Adcock from the opposite side of a fence.
“Hey, do you want to fight like a man? Come open the gate,” Bryan said to Adcock before aggressively pushing the fence, likely in an attempt to startle his foe.
Adcock, however, appears to be unfazed by the situation, mocking the incident with an Instagram post.
“When you get death threats from Sack Cryin before you headline in his hometown,” he wrote over top of the video. “Eat a Snickers, bro,” he captioned the clip.

Zach Bryan Wants At Adcock In New Social Media Footage
In another video shared on Facebook, Bryan, who was arrested in September 2023 for allegedly interfering with a traffic stop, scaled a tall fence and charged at Adcock, who was held back by security.
The reactions to the now-viral moment have been split, with many users slamming Bryan for displaying disappointing behavior. Others called out Adcock for seemingly refusing to approach Bryan to handle their issues.
“This is why I never f-ck with your music [Adcock],” one user wrote. “You talk and act all tough, but when it’s time to be about it, you hide behind security. Dude climbed a barbed wire and called you out, and you backed down. Make it make sense.”

Adock Is No Fan Of Zach Bryan
Adock and Bryan’s fiery interaction comes weeks after the former torched the “I Remember Everything” singer in a previous interview, as reported by The Blast.
Speaking about Bryan (who, in addition to his 2023 arrest, sparked even more controversy over his messy breakup with social media influencer Bri LaPaglia in 2024), Adcock implied that his rival isn’t as genuine as he appears. According to him, Bryan “puts on a big mask in his day-to-day life.”
Adcock added, “I don’t know if Zach Bryan’s really that great of a person.”

Why Did Adcock Call Bryan Out?
Their beef began long before Adcock’s recent comments, though. In the summer of 2025, Adcock roasted Bryan after a 14-year-old TikTok user claimed he had ignored several fans waiting for him outside of MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
Bryan responded to the video, calling out the user for showing “entitled” behavior before insisting they “get off my d-ck.”
Adcock, clearly frustrated by the situation, wrote on X, formerly Twitter, “If you can’t handle the criticism of a 14-year-old, why do people idolize you?”
He went on, “That kid was head over heels to meet you and spent/parents spent a ton of money to see you. He’s got a feeling too and you’re a ‘grown man’ nearly 30.”

Adcock Has Had Controversy Of His Own
Adcock’s ongoing feud with Bryan isn’t the first time he’s made headlines over statements about fellow musicians.
During Beyoncé‘s record-breaking “Cowboy Carter” tour, the former NCAA football player spoke about how bothered he was that his album was being blocked from the No. 1 spot by someone he doesn’t believe is really a country artist.
“You can tell her we’re coming for her f-ckin a-s,” he screamed into a microphone during a concert. “That sh-t ain’t country music, and it ain’t never been country music, and it ain’t never gonna be country music.”
After facing much heat from the BeyHive, Adcock attempted to clarify his comments in a video, explaining that he has respect for Beyoncé, but maintains his position on her music. “I really don’t believe that her album should be labeled as country music.”
But he didn’t stop there. Adcock went on, criticizing the Grammy Award-winning project for not meeting his standards.
“It doesn’t sound country, it doesn’t feel country,” he said.
