She also said, “I am a black girl that sings better than any white motherfu*cking country singer in Nashville.”
“And guess what? I have a ton of your favorite people behind me,” K. continued. “So, when I say I’m the next mother f*cking Taylor Swift, it’s not a motherf*cking joke. It’s the motherf*cking truth. I’m black as sh*t. I listen to City Girls, and I curse mother f*ckers out.” After that, the clip fades out as K. was still speaking, so we don’t know the remainder of her message.
She captioned the posted-and-deleted clip by writing, “HEY Nashville! I was not invited but I came. I walked right up there and had a public service announcement that: Nashville ‘I AM HERE’ you can’t keep telling me I can’t sing your music but the truth is it’s MINE. It’s ours. We bleed the same blood. Let’s make some magical music regardless of how we look. We can all exist together.”
There have been lack artists who have found fame through country music, but the genre is far from being as integrated as many would hope for. Lil Nas X wasn’t recognized or applauded for his “Old Town Road” efforts until Billy Ray Cyrus jumped on the remix, and when Beyoncé performed at the Country Music Awards back in 2016, she was the target of backlash from country music fans who didn’t want her on what they deemed to be their stage.
