Just when you thought that drama surrounding Zach Bryan lately had died down, the “Something in the Orange” singer reignited the flames this afternoon. In case you missed it, he played not one but three sold-out shows at MetLife Stadium along with the likes of Kings of Leon and The Front Bottoms as openers and even called upon Bruce Springsteen, Jack Van Cleaf and newcomer, Gabriella Rose as surprise guest over the weekend.
All in all, it seemed like a perfect get-back weekend for the 29-year-old singer/songwriter. Some of the goodwill gained, however, might have been lost today when he took to TikTok.
After night two at MetLife, seemingly hundreds of fans gathered outside the stadium in an attempt to meet Bryan and the rest of his band. In particular, TikTok user, Vienna, (whose account has now been banned) waited four hours, roughly until 4:00 a.m., but he never showed.
The post itself seemed fairly innocuous, only garnering 35.9K views and 1,990 likes before her account was banned. However, Bryan somehow found it. Taking to Vienna’s comment section, he made three separate, now-deleted comments. Defending himself, he said, “you’re not entitled after someone plays two and a half hours to a picture or a hello” and “I went out and took pictures both night one and three I had a third show the next day and it was late, needed the rest.”
Bryan’s finished by simply saying, “GOMD,” which means “get off my d*ck.”
While it’s definitely not a good look for the “Something in the Orange” singer, it was made even worse when Vienna revealed that she was only 14 years old (though he clearly didn’t know her age at the time). Making a follow-up TikTok, she posted an image with the caption, “When I made a joke video and Zach Bryan [got] all pressed about it and he told me (a 14 year old fan) to “get off his d!ck!”
Hours later, none other than Gavin Adcock took to X to weigh in on the situation, calling Bryan out. In the post, he indirectly asks Bryan, “If you can’t handle the criticism of a 14 year old why do people idolize you?”
Adcock, who has had a long history of speaking his mind, most notably calling out Beyoncé and her fans, continued “That kid was head over heeels to meet you and spent/parents spent a ton of money to see you. He’s got feeling too and you’re a ‘grown man’ nearly 30. They’re the only reason you are around.”
Bryan has yet to respond to Adcock’s comment.
