Country singer-songwriter Charley Crockett believes his music industry peers should be “taking notes” from Bad Bunny rather than continuing to support an “oppressor” like President Donald Trump.
Crockett tore into Trump Monday in a fiery Instagram post recalling his experience at the Grammy Awards earlier this month and praising Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show, which has drawn considerable backlash from conservatives.
“They keep saying I’m a cosplay cowboy but they love a cosplay president,” he wrote. “When I was at the Grammys the other night I saw a guy get up and talk about Jesus, and then I saw Bad Bunny get up there and talk like Jesus.”
“The country music establishment should be taking notes on a Puerto Rican American who hasn’t forgotten his heritage and brought his culture’s traditional music back to the front, showing the world something new with it,” Crockett added.
Crockett, a two-time Grammy nominee, was alluding to fellow musician Jelly Roll, who got religious during his Grammy acceptance speech yet dodged questions about politics in interviews afterward.
