“Oh Ms. Dolly, we love you, but Bey did spend her WHOLE life workin’ hard, since she was 9! She got country roots too. She’s mastered her craft and broken records in EVERY genre. So sayin’ she didn’t ‘spend her life’ in country music dismisses all that work she put in. Bey don’t need to stay in one lane to get respect – her talent and work ethic speak for themselves! She’s been puttin’ in the work, and nobody else gets asked to ‘spend their life’ in one place to be recognized,” the alleged comment, which was screenshotted by Complex, read.
However, Tina took to the comments section of an Instagram account that shared the statement to say that it did not come from her.
“This is fake not from me,” she wrote.
Beyonce was not included in the list of nominees for the upcoming country music awards show despite the success of her country inspired album Cowboy Carter.
During an interview, Dolly said that it was hard to say that she was snubbed, adding that the organizers “probably thought, well, we can’t really leave out some of the [artists] that spend their whole life doing [country music].”
