CMT pulls Jason Aldean’s controversial ‘Try That in a Small Town’ video as singer defends divisive song

 ABOUT POST

"I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song. ... These references are not only meritless, but dangerous,” Aldean wrote in response to critics.

CMT has confirmed that, after initially airing Jason Aldean’s highly controversial music video for “Try That in a Small Town,” the network pulled the contentious clip from the air on Monday, even before the furor over the tune grew greater on Tuesday.

A CMT spokesperson had no further comment on the video being yanked. Reps for Aldean’s label, BBR Music Group, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Billboard was first to report the video being removed by the network.
