PRYOR, OKLAHOMA: Country star Zach Bryan and rising singer Gavin Adcock nearly came to blows at the Born & Raised Festival in Pryor, Oklahoma, on September 13, and the confrontation was caught on camera.

In multiple viral videos, Bryan, 29, scaled a barbed-wire fence and attempted to storm toward Adcock, 26. Security intervened immediately, pulling him back before fists could fly.

“Do you wanna fight like a man? Open the gate,” Bryan was heard yelling in one clip.

Tensions escalated further when Bryan shouted, “If they open up this f***ing gate, I’ll f***ing kill you.” Adcock fired back, “Come on over here and meet me with a world of hell, buddy.”

Eventually, Bryan hopped over the fence anyway, only to be restrained instantly by several guards while still shouting at Adcock. Meanwhile, Adcock pointed at Bryan as he walked away with a security detail in tow.

Adcock made sure to weigh in on social media. The 'Deep End' singer shared an Instagram video of the fence-side confrontation, captioning it: “When you get death threats from Sack Cryin before you headline in his hometown.” He added, “Eat a Snickers bro.”

But not everyone was convinced. One fan commented, “He scaled a barbed wire fence … and you didn’t do s*** and hid behind security … this lil clip ain’t fooling anybody.”

Adcock fired back, “Had a show to play for Oklahoma. Wasn’t going to jail over that Psycho,” according to Penn Live.

Bryan had appeared as a surprise guest performer during the three-day festival, while Adcock had a scheduled slot that night. 

Zach Bryan feud with Gavin Adcock began after 14-year-old fan snub

This wasn’t just a heat-of-the-moment clash — their feud has been brewing since July. It began after a 14-year-old fan was upset that Bryan didn’t greet fans following his MetLife Stadium show in New Jersey.

“You’re not entitled after someone plays two and a half hours to a picture or a hello,” Bryan explained in a since-deleted TikTok. “I went out and took pictures both night one and night three. I had a third show the next day, and it was late, I needed rest,” he said, signing off with the acronym “GOMD,” meaning “Get off my d***.”

That response didn’t sit well with Adcock. On X, he wrote, “If you can’t handle the criticism of a 14-year-old, why do people idolize you? That kid was head over heels to meet you and spent/ parents spent a ton of money to see you.”

Adcock added, “He’s got feelings too, and you’re a ‘grown man’ nearly 30. They’re the only reason you are around.”



 

Gavin Adcock slams Zach Bryan on podcast

The 26-year-old later clarified his stance on 'Rolling Stone’s Nashville Now' podcast in August, stressing that his issue wasn’t about autograph sessions but about Bryan’s choice of words.

“It wasn’t about not wanting to sign autographs after a show, it’s like letting a 14-year-old kid rant, without saying, ‘Get off my d***.’ You’re bigger than that,” Adcock said.

He went further, adding, “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. I don’t know if Zach Bryan’s really that great of a person.”
