Country music stars Zach Bryan and Gavin Adcock nearly came to blows at the Born & Raised Festival in Pryor, Oklahoma, on Saturday, escalating their months-long feud.

Video shared on social media showed Bryan, 29, scaling a barbed-wire fence in an attempt to confront Adcock, 26, before security intervened. The tense moment unfolded just before Adcock was set to perform.

In clips circulating online, Bryan can be heard shouting at Adcock, urging him to “fight like a man” and threatening, “I’ll f***ing kill you.” Adcock responded by provoking him with lines such as, “Come on over here and meet me with a world of hell, buddy.” The exchange ended when security quickly stopped Bryan and removed him from the scene.

Adcock later mocked the incident on Instagram, writing, “When you get death threats from Sack Cryin before you headline in his hometown,” adding, “Eat a Snickers, bro.”

The dispute between the singers began earlier this summer when Bryan faced backlash from fans after declining to meet one young supporter following a concert. Adcock criticized Bryan’s reaction, questioning his treatment of fans and publicly challenging his character on social media and podcasts.

Neither Bryan nor Adcock has issued an official statement about the near-fight, but the altercation has drawn widespread attention in the country music community. The Born & Raised Festival incident has further fueled speculation about whether the feud between the two performers will continue to escalate.
