A small-town Oklahoma radio station is under fire after a listener accused it of purposely barring Beyoncé ‘s new country songs — but the whole thing has been totally warped, and in fact, it’s now resolved.
Here’s the deal … someone on X hopped online Tuesday, claiming KYKC — a local country station in Ada, OK — had told him they refused to play Bey’s 2 new country singles when he requested them, because they “do not play Beyoncé.”
There was a lot of context missing here, obviously, but the user ran with this as what he characterized as blatant racism … suggesting the station was purposely trying to box her out.
He wrote, “I requested Texas Hold ‘Em at my local country radio station (KYKC) and after requesting, i received an email from the radio station.” He posted a screenshot of the KYKC response, which notes they’re a country music station, and that’s why they wouldn’t play Beyoncé.
Again, on X, the user didn’t explain (or show proof of) the exact wording of his original request to KYKC, but he was calling for people to boycott the station — and, as you might expect, lots of Bey’s fans have their pitchforks out.
