Billy Ray Cyrus steps into Lil Nas X country music row
5 April 2019
A row has broken out over the decision by Billboard to remove Lil Nas X's song Old Town Road from its Hot Country Songs chart.
The song hit number 19 on the chart before it was removed.
Billboard told Rolling Stone the song was removed because it "does not embrace enough elements of today's country music to chart in its current form".
A remix of the song including Billy Ray Cyrus has since been released.
When news of Lil Nas X's exclusion from the country music chart surfaced, Billy Ray Cyrus tweeted his support for the young artist.
