Billy Ray Cyrus' 'Old Town Road' Remix Has the Internet Yeehawing
Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus collaborating together is the most 2019 thing ever.
If you've been on the internet anytime during the past few weeks, then you've probably already heard rapper Lil Nas X's viral hit "Old Town Road." Despite the song (which expertly combines elements of both the country and trap genres) performing well on various country charts, Billboard decided that "Old Town Road" simply "does not embrace enough elements of today's country music" and subsequently removed it from their Hot Country chart.
The move caused quite the controversy among fans, but luckily for us, "Achy Breaky Heart" singer and Miley's dad Billy Ray Cyrus was not putting up with any of Billboard's weird, subtly racist nonsense and hopped on the remix of Lil Nas X's popular track, which was just earlier released today.
