Forget Kendrick Lamar and Drake. The real beef is between the Florida Georgia Line. Tyler Hubbard recently spoke with the “Bussin’ with the Boys” podcast about their break-up and said that it was Brian Kelley who first wanted to go solo, and that caused them to split.
Well, Brian Kelley has now fired back, saying that’s not the way things went down at all. (Excuse us for a moment, while we go get my popcorn.)
In fact, it was so important to Brian to respond that he apparently moved his schedule around to do an “emergency podcast” with the same guys Tyler spoke to.
Brian said, “Tyler had solo music out before I even did . . . He had played Biden’s inauguration, which was a huge look to be a solo act with Tim McGraw. He released another song. I didn’t start releasing music ’til April.”
Brian said he was shocked that Tyler released a duet with Tim. But he wanted to go solo too, so he was in favor of a plan that they turn their concerts into a 3-hour show. Most of the night they would play together as FGL, and then they’d both get to play solo, too.
Well Tyler apparently didn’t like that idea at all. Which is fine, but it’s a bad look to come out and say Brian was the one who wanted to go solo when Tyler had already released solo songs.
As for Brian’s diss-track, “Kiss My Boots”, he wouldn’t own up to the fact that was about his relationship with Tyler. Which is surprising . . . seemed like the perfect time to own up to that.
It’s like divorce court, they’re both saying exactly the opposite of what the other is. One thing they can agree on, is there will be no FGL reunion any time soon.
