Zach Bryan Drops New Track After Barstool Drama: Is It About Dave Portnoy?

Zach Bryan is no stranger to controversy. The rising country star has been vocal about his opinions and struggles, which often lands him in the middle of online feuds. His latest drama? A back-and-forth with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy. And now, Bryan has released a new song, "Heading South," that many are speculating is a direct response to the situation.

What Went Down?

The whole thing kicked off with Portnoy’s “One Bite” pizza review of Bryan’s favorite pizza spot in Oklahoma. Portnoy wasn’t a fan of the pizza, giving it a lukewarm rating. Bryan, being a passionate fan of the establishment, clapped back on Twitter, criticizing Portnoy’s review and calling him a "meatball" for not appreciating the local joint. This ignited a firestorm of online commentary, with fans picking sides and stirring up the feud.

Is "Heading South" A Diss Track?

While Bryan hasn’t directly confirmed the inspiration behind his new song, fans are convinced “Heading South” is his response to the Barstool drama. The lyrics talk about feeling “trapped” and “caught in a game,” which some interpret as a commentary on the online backlash and pressure Bryan faced following his tweets.

The song also features lines about "haters" and "all the noise," which could be interpreted as a shot at Portnoy and his followers. There’s also a line about "going south," which some fans believe refers to a potential move away from his Oklahoma home.

So, is it a diss track?

It’s hard to say for sure, but the timing and the lyrics definitely point to a connection between the song and the Barstool drama. Bryan’s new track is a powerful and emotional song, regardless of who it's about.

Whether or not it's a diss track, it's clear that Bryan isn't afraid to speak his mind and stand up for what he believes in. And for fans, it’s another opportunity to see his raw talent on full display.
