Zach Top’s Wikipedia page updated following viral conspiracy theory that Alan Jackson is his father

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: A playful conspiracy theory suggesting that Zach Top, the rising star in country music, is the son of legendary '90s icon Alan Jackson has taken social media by storm.

The buzz began after Docc Andrews, a Canadian radio host of 93.7 JR Country, shared his theory on air, pointing to Top’s September 6, 1997, birthdate and the timing of an Alan Jackson concert in Tacoma, Washington, nine months earlier, reported Whiskey Riff.

Docc Andrews humorously noted, "You guys, Zach Top was born September 6th, 1997, in Sunnyside, Washington, USA. If you go back nine months from his birth date to the winter of 1996. In November of 1996, Alan Jackson played at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington!"

"Have you seen Zach Top's face? His mustache? His sound? Zach Top is Alan Jackson's son. Prove me wrong," Andrews added.

The speculation gained traction when Zach Top’s Wikipedia page was updated to include unverified claims about his parentage that he is Alan Jackson’s son.

The edit stated, "Zach Top was born on September 26, 1997, and grew up on his father Alan Jackson’s ranch in Sunnyside, Washington. He got his musical start performing as part of a bluegrass band with his siblings called Top String.”

While it’s true that Top hails from Sunnyside and began his career in a bluegrass band, the suggestion that Alan Jackson is his father is entirely fabricated.
