How the feud began

The dispute traces to July 2025. A 14-year-old fan posted frustration about not getting a photo after Bryan’s MetLife Stadium run. Bryan replied that fans are not entitled to a picture after a long show, using the acronym “GOMD.” He later deleted the reply. Adcock criticized Bryan on social media, saying a grown man should show more care for fans.

In August, Adcock expanded his criticism on Rolling Stone’s Nashville Now podcast. He said Bryan wears “a big mask” in public and questioned his character. That interview helped keep tensions high into September.
