Country music singers Zach Bryan and Gavin Adcock engaged [1] in a heated confrontation at the Born & Raised Festival in Pryor, Oklahoma, over the weekend, escalating a feud that has played out both on stage and across social media.
Fan-recorded video circulated widely on TikTok on Saturday showing Bryan, 29, confronting Adcock, 26, from opposite sides of a chain-link fence.
In the clip, Bryan appeared to challenge his fellow performer, saying, “You wanna fight like a man? Open the gate.”
In a separate video shared online, Bryan, who has won a Grammy Award, could be heard raising his voice and appearing to say, “If they open this f**king gate, I’ll f**king kill you.”
As tensions escalated, Bryan climbed the fence and crossed over to Adcock’s side.
Security intervened quickly, restraining Bryan as he continued shouting at Adcock.
Adcock fired back during the altercation, reportedly calling Bryan a “clown son of a bitch.”
After the incident, he posted a clip of the exchange on Instagram with the caption, “When you get death threats from Sack Cryin before you headline in his hometown.”
In the video, Adcock could also be heard telling Bryan to “eat a Snickers bro.”

Responding to a social media user who accused him of hiding behind security during the encounter, Adcock wrote, “Had a show to play for Oklahoma. Wasn’t going to jail over that Psycho.”
Representatives for Bryan and Adcock did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Page Six.
The feud between the two performers traces back to August, when Adcock criticized Bryan during an appearance on the “Nashville Now” podcast.
He accused Bryan of mistreating a teenage fan who expressed disappointment on TikTok after not receiving a photo or hug at a performance.
According to Adcock, Bryan told the fan to “get off my dick” in response to her comment.
“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,” Adcock said at the time, also adding that Bryan is not “really that great of a person.”
Bryan was a surprise guest at this weekend’s Oklahoma festival, where he performed with Gabriella Rose.
His appearance at the event added to the intensity of the public dispute with Adcock, whose scheduled performance was also part of the lineup.
The incident is not the first time Bryan has found himself at the center of public controversy.
He has previously engaged in online disputes with former girlfriend Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia following their 2024 breakup.
LaPaglia has accused Bryan of emotional abuse, allegations he has not publicly addressed.
Adcock, meanwhile, is currently engaged in a separate dispute with fellow country singer Charley Crockett, further highlighting the growing number of public clashes involving the rising performer.
The confrontation at the Born & Raised Festival adds another chapter to an increasingly personal and public rivalry between Bryan and Adcock, with fans and industry observers closely watching how the feud unfolds in the weeks ahead.
