From an outside perspective, it would be easy to assume that Kane Brown has become one of the most connected names in country music with the success he’s achieved. However, he’s setting the record straight, admitting there’s one part of the country music experience he feels he’s missing: a close-knit group of friends within the genre.
While country music is often described as a family where most of the artists on the scene support one another both publicly and privately, Brown admitted that he doesn’t necessarily feel as included as fans might think. He recently appeared on an episode of The Pivot, where he opened up to the show’s hosts Ryan, Channing and Fred about his personal experience with feeling like he doesn’t have anyone to relate to within country music.
Brown has developed a lot of different relationships within the entertainment space as his career has grown, but he reveals some of his closest friends are athletes like Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, rather than fellow musicians.
“A lot of people have egos. I shut down around that because I’m not trying to say who’s got the bigger…you know what I’m saying? So for me, Pat just makes it normal to hang out,” Brown admits. “I think I relate more to athletes because I wanted to be an athlete and I like the competitive aspect of that, like going to golf with Pat. I feel like I have more athlete friends than I do musician friends. I feel alone in the music world.”
He also noted that if there is a big country music group chat, he wasn’t invited to join.
The “Miles On It” singer goes on to say that feeling like an outsider is nothing new for him, explaining that he has always considered himself “a loner.” However, he shared that a few fellow artists, including Morgan Wallen, Shaboozey, Chris Young and Jason Aldean, regularly make an effort to check in and stay connected. Still, Brown noted that there is a difference between the kind of relationship where messages are exchanged every so often and having a genuine friendship outside of the music.
“The difference with what I’m trying to say is with texting somebody and being boys with somebody, because they’re the only people that I can really relate to. You know what I’m saying? And so when you don’t have somebody that you can talk to about that and have a brothership over it, I don’t know if I could really say we’re friends,” he said honestly.
Brown made it clear that he’s hoping to build more genuine bonds within the industry, and even extended an open invitation to anyone who might be watching the podcast who is looking for the same kind of connection to reach out to him.
“For me, I just want a friend in the industry that we just chill, come over, hit the golf sim, have a few beers, talk it up.”
Something else that the father of three admits he’s been struggling with lately within country music is wanting to stand out and share the kind of music that takes fans back to the kind of old school storytelling of Alan Jackson and Randy Travis. However, he explains that these types of songs are often overlooked, and instead, it’s the mainstream music that gets all the attention and traction. In lieu of this challenge he is making an effort to create music that is “different” for his next album.
“I feel like a lot of people work with the same people and then a lot of the songs use the same words. I try not to use those words, which makes stuff a little hard. And then I try to do different sounds as well, which sometimes it works. Like my song ‘Woman’ right now that’s on the radio doesn’t sound like anything else that’s on the radio. And so that’s why I try to stand out from that,” Brown shared. “But then also it could hurt me because that’s not what they’re used to listening to. So I think that’s what makes it hard for me is just trying to be different.”
He continued, “For this next album, it’s been my hardest album I’ve been writing because I’m trying to do a theme. I’m trying to make everything throwback. I’m trying to make it a hard song to write. Not even hard, but just not the same stuff that we keep hearing like ‘Chevy’ and ‘Truck,’ which I never said I’d have a truck song by the way. Then I wrote that damn song and it blew up… That’s just what this world relates to.”
Brown has a great love for 90s country music and he hopes that the genre will be able to get back to that era of songwriting soon.
“I have songs like that, but they don’t work. At least for me, they don’t do nothing. So I have a song called ‘Losing Hand’ right now. It’s like everything’s stacked against me. It’s just basically my life. And it says, ‘who says you can’t win on a losing hand?’ And I’m hoping that that does something for me, but I guarantee you that song gets overlooked. And so I don’t know, I think that’s the hardest part.”
While Kane Brown has officially confirmed that a new album is in the works, he has yet to reveal when we will get to hear the new music.

In June, Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo shocked fans when they announced they were divorcing. Days later, Bunnie Xo made headlines again after releasing a lengthy episode of her Dumb Blonde Podcast titled “The Divorce,” in which she offered an unfiltered look at what led to the split.
Throughout the episode, she opened up about the reasons behind their divorce, shared details of their divorce agreement and discussed what life after marriage might look like. She even revealed some of the direct messages she’d received from potential suitors and candidly addressed how she felt about Jelly Roll re-entering the dating scene.
Perhaps the biggest revelation, however, was that despite ending their marriage, the former couple still planned to have a baby together and co-parent their future child.
“I love him and you guys are going to be shocked to hear this, but we’re still having a baby,” she shared.
“We’re still having a baby together.”
Now, less than a month after the episode was released on YouTube and across Bunnie Xo’s social media platforms, “The Divorce” has mysteriously disappeared without explanation, leaving fans wondering why it was removed.
Jelly Roll initially appeared to support the podcast’s release, even encouraging fans on social media to listen to the episode if they wanted to learn more about the couple’s split.
At this time, neither Bunnie Xo nor Jelly Roll has addressed why the episode was removed, and no reason has been given for its disappearance.
Court documents obtained in Williamson County, Tennessee, reveal that Jelly Roll filed for divorce on May 18, with the couple’s official date of separation listed as May 9. The filing cites “irreconcilable differences” as the grounds for the divorce.
According to Bunnie Xo, the legal process has moved very quickly. During the since-deleted podcast, she shared that the two were working through the divorce amicably.
“My husband and I are ending this marriage on the best possible terms that you could ever have a divorce,” she said. “We’re literally settling our divorce and we’ve done it in like what, three weeks, two weeks?”
The pair first crossed paths in 2015 at one of Jelly Roll’s concerts on Fremont Street in Las Vegas, where they quickly formed a strong connection. Less than a year later, they tied the knot on August 31, 2016.
