Jason Aldean’s latest track, “Try That In A Small Town,” has received plenty of backlash from the public after its music video release. The song came out in May but ranked No. 2 on the Billboard Ho 100 only after its music video came out this week.
The video depicts protests and people confronting the police, making it controversial. However, despite the widespread scrutiny, the song defied the odds and ranked on the charts. The music video has gained over 22 million views.
Aldean’s lyrics suggest: “Cuss out a cop, spit in his face, stomp on the flag and light it up, yeah, ya think you’re tough. Well, try that in a small town. See how far ya make it down the road. Around here, we take care of our own. You cross that line, it won’t take long for you to find out. I recommend you don’t.”
Whoopi Goldberg shared her thoughts on the song recently, leading to an even bigger chaos.
What Did Whoopi Goldberg Say About Jason Aldean’s Song?
Whoopi Goldberg slammed Jason Aldean’s “Try That In A Small Town” in The View. According to her, the imagery shown in the music video regarding the BLM protests was unjustified.
“He’s got folks from the Black Lives Matter movement, and he’s talking about people taking care of each other, and I find it so interesting that it never occurred to Jason or the writers that that’s what these folks were doing: They were taking care of the people in their town because they didn’t like what they saw.”
Is Jason Aldea Suing Whoopi Goldberg?
No, Jason Aldean is not suing Whoopi Goldberg and The View for slamming his latest track. The article by “The Dunning-Kruger Times” is entirely satirical and doesn’t hold an ounce of truth.
According to the article, Aldean has filed a $40 million lawsuit against Goldberg and the other hosts of ‘The View’ for implying that he was a racist due to his new song. The specific article is titled “Jason Aldean Files Defamation Suit Against Whoopi and The View: “I’m No Racist.”
Some of the more colorful statements in the news state that ABC stood by their hosts and claimed they were protected by the 1st Amendment’s free speech rights. The report also claimed that Joe Barron, the attorney for Aldean, believed Whoopi needed to pay for her little stunt.
In fact, The Dunning-Kruger Times even created a completely fictitious reply from Whoopi that she was not worried about any legal proceedings.
The Dunning-Kruger Times is actually a website that specializes in satirical news and fictional content. They have quoted on the website that anyone who believed their articles needed to get their head checked.
In conclusion, Jason Aldean is not suing Whoopi Goldberg or any of the hosts of The View, and most gossip that has spread from the false article is similarly untrue.
This serves as a fine remember not to believe everything you see on the Internet before doing a hefty amount of research yourself.
