Jack White and Charley Crockett Are Beefing
Guess which of them wrote “What I do on your grave won’t pass for flowers either”
It has been a challenging six weeks for Charley Crockett. In July, the country singer-songwriter parted ways with Twin Temple, a self-described Satanic doo-wop duo, as their openers for his Age of the Ram tour. Initially, Crockett claimed it was due to the band's Satanic imagery, but later revealed he thought they were more like Black Sabbath.
Consequently, Jack White extended an invitation for Twin Temple to open his Los Angeles concert, leading to increased national attention and a late-night TV debut for the duo. However, the situation resurfaced yesterday (August 18) when Crockett took to social media to "clarify" the matter. After accusing Twin Temple of fabricating the "Satanic imagery" reason for their removal and "dragging me by a rope real good," Crockett targeted other musicians who had praised him before distancing themselves.
He specifically mentioned Jack White, stating that the guitarist had capitalized on the situation for ticket sales, and questioned why he hadn't been more vocal about political issues during his time in the White Stripes. White responded to the accusations with a lengthy Instagram post, sharing the lyrics to the 1984 rap song "Rappin Duke" by Shawn Brown.
The incident has affected all three artists, who continue on their respective tours and album releases.
