Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan have previously been good friends, but it has recently been discovered that there may be some bad blood between them.
In TV competition shows and on the music charts, they have been friendly rivals. Yet, their relationship shifted after Gwen Stefani's husband dubbed the "American Idol" judge's song "dumb" in front of a packed crowd.
Blake told the audience at an Alabama event that he had lost his voice earlier in the day and that a doctor advised him to encourage everyone in the audience to sing along to his songs in order to save his vocal chords.
"I know what he's talking about because I've been to Luke Bryan concerts many times and people are signing every freaking word to his songs," the "Minimum Wage" singer explained.
"But his songs are dumb!" he continued.
To add insult to injury, "The Voice" coach performed an uncomfortable little waltz on stage and said, "That was my version of Luke dancing."
According to Luke's friend, he became crimson red after seeing the video of Blake insulting him.
"Blake and Luke are often ragging on one other," a source told Radar Online, "but Luke thought Blake went it too far."
"It upsets Luke that, despite being a major country star, people always criticize him for being lightweight 'Bro country,' and Blake for just playing that up for a fun at his expense," they claimed.
Luke Bryan is apparently preparing to fight back.
"He claims Blake is no Hank Williams when it comes to his songs," the anonymous friend said, "so he should stick a sock in it!"
Yet, it is still prudent to take this story with a grain of salt.
