He went on to say people were worried about 'Nashville' not letting black country artists in, but BET is the one that won't let black country artists in. 

So @BET stands for Black Entertainment Television but yet they won't play my Music Vidoes. Last time I checked I was black. People worried about " Nashville" not letting black country artist in but yet BET won't let black country artist in. Nashville let me in. ☕️🐸🤷🏽‍♂️
