Dude is a legend and not a sell out.. Oliver Anthony, the man who released the latest left wing triggering song “Rich Men North Of Richmond” has turned down an 8 million dollar deal from music executives who would have no doubt ruined him and probably turned him into the next wokester.
The breakout country star known as Oliver Anthony revealed that he has rejected music deals worth as much as $8 million in a statement he posted to address his fans and supporters.
Anthony became a star after he posted his song “Rich Men North of Richmond” on social media. He has since topped the iTunes charts while critics have tried to dredgeup his past to undermine his popularity.
He responded to some of the controversy surrounding his song in a statement he posted to Facebook on Thursday.
“It’s been difficult as I browse through the 50,000+ messages and emails I’ve received in the last week. The stories that have been shared paint a brutally honest picture. Suicide, addiction, unemployment, anxiety and depression, hopelessness and the list goes on,” he wrote.
He said that he has rejected offers worth millions of dollars.
