The feud between You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login and singer-songwriter John Moreland has escalated. 

Moreland took to social media earlier this week to respond to the drama in a scathing video after Bryan removed their duet track off his album. 

"OK, so I'll just say one more thing about it... I'm gonna get back to my real life and let y'all have fun on the internet. When I was asked to be on that album, I did not know that dude. Never met him. Just a really big artist from where I'm from [Tulsa, Oklahoma], asking me to be on a record. Cool," Moreland explained in an Instagram video.

"First time I met him, we recorded the song. Like, didn't have the greatest impression, but no big deal – whatever, fine. Then we record the song. The album comes out like a month later. I had met him once at that point," Moreland continued. 

The two country singers wrote and recorded a duet called "Memphis; The Blues" on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login "The Great American Bar Scene."

The fellow You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login claimed that if he was asked to be on Bryan's album today, he would decline the offer, saying, "I wouldn't do it. I don't want to be on an album with a dude who is a d---head to my wife and my friends right in front of me every time I see him." 

"I don't want to be on an album with a dude who I've heard tell borderline racist jokes more than once... I don't like that person," Moreland said. "I don't like that person."

Moreland concluded, "That's who thinks I'm an a--hole? Fine. As far as I'm concerned, getting kicked off a You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login album is way f---ing cooler than being on a Zach Bryan album."

In addition to his video dig, Moreland shared a selfie on Instagram and wrote, "Development/observations. Been stopped on the street a couple times but only by people who wanted to yell 'f--- zach bryan' at me. The only people who seem upset at me are little fanboi losers. Goin pretty good."

The feud began when Moreland criticized Bryan's $350 million record deal last Friday.

"$350 M is a lot to pay for the f---in off-brand version of me," Moreland wrote to his Instagram story. "Y'all have a great day."

"Yooo just saw this from an artist I've always respected and supported," he wrote. "Not trying to be dramatic but refuse to have anyone with a problem with me on my records. Replacing Memphis the Blues. If it goes down for a bit just know this is the reason!"

He added, "No hard feelings! Confused as s---, Tulsans look out for Tulsans!"

In another post, Bryan said his message would be the last he commented on the matter, explaining, "Not partial to arguing with butt hurt grown men."
