Zach Bryan Claps Back at 'Entitled' Fan After MetLife Show
SCANDAL ROCKS THE COUNTRY MUSIC SCENE: ZACH BRYAN FIRES BACK AT TEENAGE FAN WHO SLAMMED HIM ONLINE FOR NOT SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS
The country music world is reeling after superstar Zach Bryan, 29, got into a heated online feud with a teenage fan who accused him of blowing her off and not signing autographs after a concert at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. But Bryan didn't take the criticism lying down - he fired back at the young fan in a series of scathing comments that have left fans divided.
The drama began when a TikTok user, identified only as "Mia", shared a video of Bryan allegedly driving away from the venue without stopping to greet his fans, who had waited for hours outside. The caption read: 'Zach Bryan driving away from his fans that waited 4 hours to meet him; he didn’t even roll down his window to say hi.'
But things took a turn when Mia posted a follow-up video slamming Bryan's behavior, claiming she and her friends had spent three hours waiting outside the venue for an autograph or just a simple hello. The post read: 'We waited 3 hours outside to meet Zach Bryan and he completely blew everyone off and drove away like a jerk.'
ZACH BRYAN SPEAKS OUT
It was only a matter of time before Bryan himself weighed in on the controversy. In a series of comments posted on Mia's TikTok video, Bryan fired back at his young critic.
'You're not entitled after someone plays two and a half hours to a picture or a hello,' he wrote, seemingly taking issue with Mia's expectation that he would stop and sign autographs after the show.
But Bryan didn't stop there. He added: 'GOMD', which is internet slang for 'get off my d**k'. Ouch!
FANS WEIGH IN ON THE SITUATION
The drama has sparked a heated debate among fans, with some siding with Bryan and others defending Mia's right to be disappointed.
'I don't care what anyone says, Zach Bryan was in the right,' wrote one fan. 'You're not entitled just because you waited outside for hours.'
Another fan agreed: 'If anything, he could've just said "I was tired but thanks for coming/hope you enjoyed the show" or something along those lines.'
But others have come to Mia's defense, saying that Bryan has a responsibility to his fans, even after the show is over.
'I highly doubt he knew she was 14,' wrote one fan. 'And no one is entitled to meet or see them AFTER the show. They have clocked out and are no longer working, they need to let them live their life.'
