The rapper and the country singer teamed up for their collaboration “Boots” Over the last year or so, Russell Dickerson has found his lane. A singer of country music love songs when he first launched with ballads like “Yours,” the Tennessee native has broken through by following his whims. If that means adopting a pro-wrestling aesthetic (his “RussellMania” branding is particularly inspired) or teaming up with the rapper Fetty Wap, so be it.

Elvis Costello has told people who accused him of being “woke” for removing the N-word from ‘Oliver’s Army’ to “go fuck yourself”. In 2022, the legendary artist called on radio stations to stop playing the 1979 single, due to its controversial inclusion of the lyric, “Only takes one itchy trigger / One more widow, one less white n*****”.
