He also criticized Mackie for hosting the CMT Awards.
“I don’t know who this black guy is hosting. It’s supposed to be country music. No offense. I mean, you all have hip-hop and basketball … just fly with your sails, bro.”
He added: “There is no disrespect to the Terrible Brothers. I like Earth Wind and Fire, Run DMC, etc. But the country music is different … It’s not Wakanda.”

“I’ve never been more inspired. Patrick Howley, although your feelings may have been shared by some, not by the public!” He wrote.
“I have an all-star legendary team of true country artists who are currently working with me who would like to be different! That my skin is melancholy, but you missed that it was hard! I’m at the root of the word and finally made! See you soon, or should I say “Welcome to Wakanda” Wow করanthonymackie
