Billy Ray Cyrus appears on remix of viral country-rap track

Fellow rapper Ski Mask the Slump God said the move was “discrimination at it’s [sic] finest”, while white country artist Meghan Linsey said the song was “as ‘country’ as anything on country radio’.” The controversy around the track echoes a similar debate around Beyonce’s country-inspired song ‘Daddy Issues’, which was deemed ineligible to be nominated for the country category at the 2016 Grammy Awards.
