Cody Wolfe’s “Better Without You” music video gained nearly over 57k in 48 hours streams after a mass message was sent asking fans to stream the song to support Wolfe after his July 27th show at The Bijou Theater in Bridgeport Connecticut was canceled over a Rebel flag post on Twitter.
“It’s horrible, people have no freedom of speech anymore,” says Wolfe “People gotta start standing up to this Bull $hit, a lot of great southern people fought and died for that flag to honor something they believed in, I don’t cuss out your Pride flag, you don’t tread on my Rebel flag” Wolfe’s mostly conservative country music fan-base supports his music and is all for freedom of speech.
“Oh I made it a point to go after the conservative fanbase, I want people that support music. Not people who want to cancel it. Hell, I’d tour with Kid Rock, Morgan Wallen, or John Rich any day. I support people and artists who have the nerve to speak up or to be themselves that’s the trouble with this world. No more freedom to be yourself and everyone forced to be someone they are not. Every venue that tried to screw me in the past has gone out of business, every single one, I offered to pay the Bijou Theater to secure a spot, feeling bad for local venues post Covid and I was dead positive I would make the money back from the show so I figured I’d do everything I could to help. I’ve seen it mentioned he was struggling to keep his doors open. But when he canceled my show just like that because of a Tweet I honestly hope people stop supporting him. You see what happened when they tried to cancel Morgan Wallen. I know it’s lofty comparing myself to him but they are pulling the same $hit with me they did with him. My fans will not stand for it, they’ve already shown their support.
The venue owner called me on the phone and said “I don’t want the Facebook Group Fairfield Mom’s seeing I booked an artist with a Rebel Flag on his page, if I lose her support I will go out of business” caring more about a Facebook page with 4,000 members then an artist with 10 Million views on his song and a massive local email list. I couldn’t believe how stupid it was” says Wolfe. One email I could put this guy right out of business but I’m not a jerk, I’d rather fans stream my song in to prove a point! Not only will we not back down, but we are ready to Bring Country Back!
I’m also gonna make a song about this you can bet on it” says Wolfe, pleased to see a large bump in both iTunes downloads and YouTube Streams from his fans joining together in support.
