The feud between country stars Zach Bryan and Gavin Adcock boiled over this weekend in Oklahoma — ending in a wild backstage showdown caught on camera.
Bryan, 28, made a surprise appearance at the Born & Raised Festival in Pryor on Saturday, joining Gabriella Rose during her afternoon set — but his visit wasn’t all about the music.
The Something in the Orange singer appeared to seize the chance to confront Adcock, a Georgia up-and-comer who has publicly taken shots at him.
In viral clips racing across social media, Bryan can be seen furiously arguing with Adcock from behind a barbed-wire fence backstage.
At one point, dressed in a white t-shirt and jeans, he roared, ‘Hey you wanna fight like a man? Open the gate,’ before slamming his fist into the chain link fence.
Moments later, Bryan began climbing the barbed wire, hauling himself over as Adcock — sporting a vest and cowboy hat — pointed and taunted from the other side.

Bryan, 28, made a surprise appearance at the Born & Raised Festival in Pryor on Saturday, joining Gabriella Rose during her afternoon set — but his visit wasn’t all about the music, as he quickly scaled a fence to finish a fight
As Bryan dropped down, he lunged toward his rival, but a security guard quickly stepped in, grabbing him before things turned physical.
The tense video cuts off there, leaving fans buzzing over the near-brawl.
Neither Bryan nor Adcock’s reps responded to Daily Mail’s requests for comment.
In another clip making the rounds, things got even more heated.
Bryan is heard snarling, ‘If they open up this f***** gate, I’ll f****** kill you.’
Adcock didn’t back down, snapping back, ‘I got a show to play, you clown son of a bitch,” — a jab that suggested the blow-up happened just before his scheduled set.
Adcock then poured gasoline on the fire by posting his own version of the fence-line showdown.
The Deep End singer shared the footage on Instagram with the caption: ‘When you get death threats from Sack Cryin before you headline in his hometown.’

He added a final dig: ‘Eat a Snickers bro.’
The bad blood between the two country acts didn’t start in Oklahoma.
Back in July, Adcock came for Bryan after a teenage fan complained online about not getting an autograph at MetLife Stadium.
Bryan fired back at the teen, writing: ‘You’re not entitled after someone plays two and a half hours to a picture or a hello.’
Adcock kept the feud alive, later telling Nashville Now podcast, ‘I think that Zach Bryan puts on a big mask in his day-to-day life and sometimes he can’t help but rip it off and show his true colors.
‘I don’t know if Zach Bryan’s really that great of a person.’
Of course, stirring the pot is nothing new for Adcock.
In June, Adcock blasted Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter, declaring from the stage: ‘That sh** ain’t country music.’

Bryan hasn’t exactly stayed out of the drama either.
The Grammy winner has feuded publicly with his ex ‘Chicken Fry’ Brianna LaPaglia.
The podcaster first spoke about her breakup with the country singer on The BFF Podcast in November 2024, revealing details of their past relationship and accusing him of emotional abuse throughout their time together.
Just hours after Bryan announced their shock split on Instagram in October 2024, LaPaglia posted an emotional video on her YouTube channel.
‘I just woke up to Zach posting on his Instagram that we broke up, and I had no idea that post was going up. He didn’t text me, he didn’t call me. I just woke up to a bunch of texts, like, “Are you okay?”‘ LaPaglia shared.
She said she was ‘completely blindsided’ by Bryan’s decision to post the news of their separation.
‘Do you see the swelling on my face? I’ve been crying for like five days straight,’ she admitted.
She spoke candidly, saying, ‘This is so embarrassing. I don’t give a f***. How can you give every ounce of yourself to someone and then be discarded in a few days? It’s really, really heartbreaking.’
Near the end of the video, Brianna said she felt completely ‘blindsided.’
Bryan also clashed with fellow musician John Moreland.
Their beef got so ugly, Bryan yanked their collaboration from streaming after Moreland shaded his reported $350 million publishing deal.
