Beyoncé was likened to a dog marking its territory by actor and singer John Schneider.
The 63-year-old Dukes of Hazzard star – who said President Joe Biden “should be publicly hanged” – made the graphic comparison during an interview with conservative outlet One American News.
During the discussion, he was asked for his opinion on “left-wing” musicians like the 42-year-old singer who venture into other genres.
The segment was about how fans pressured an Oklahoma radio station to play the Renaissance musician's new country music.
“The leftists in the entertainment industry just leave no area alone, do they?” They just have to take control of every aspect, right? the host asked Schneider.
He replied, “They have to leave their mark, just like a dog in a dog park.” You know, every dog has to mark every tree, right? So that's what's going on here.'

He then made a comment about how it's usually the other way around – when country artists like Shania Twain try to break into mainstream music genres.
“I know a little bit about country music,” he then claimed.
John released his own country music in the 1980s.
Beyoncé surprisingly dropped her country song Texas Hold 'Em during the Super Bowl on Sunday.
At the same time, she announced the release date of her eighth studio album Act II, the second in the Renaissance trilogy, which is expected to be entirely country-influenced.
On Tuesday, a Beyoncé fan revealed that his local country music station 100.1 KYKC refused to play the track, using the social media app X to do so.
He wrote: “I requested Texas Hold 'Em on my local country radio station (KYKC) and after requesting, I received an email from the radio station saying, “We do not play Beyonce on KYKC as we are a country music station are.” @BeyLegion.'
Justin tagged Beyoncé Legion, Beyoncé's biggest fan club, at the end of his tweet and wrote a thread accusing the broadcaster of racism and encouraging his fellow fans to also email to ask about the song.

Many fans were happy to oblige, including attorney Keaton Grant, who joked, “They got my lawyer in Oklahoma to write an email,” and attached the damning screenshot screenshot of the damning evidence to his tweet.
Others flooded Justin's replies, citing tweets with anger at KYKC and frustration that a clearly country song was being disrespected because Beyoncé was known for her work in other genres.
Four and 3.2 million impressions later, KYKC wrote on his Attach an image of the song in the queue.
A representative for KYKC owner South Central Oklahoma Radio Enterprises (SCORE) told Web: “We originally didn't even know she was releasing a country song.”
“Then when we started getting requests for it, we literally didn’t have it. No label or distributor could get it to us. So we literally couldn't play it.
“After many calls and emails, we finally got the song and added it to not only our country station KYKC, but also our top 40 station KXFC and our classic hits station KADA-FM.
“We’ve been playing Beyoncé for 20 years, so we’re fans.”

Regarding the accusations of racism, the representative said: “First of all, we are a minority-owned business, so that's there.”
“Secondly, we make music if it's good.” We don't care who it is or what they look like.
“Third, we embraced Beyoncé” when she came onto the scene decades ago. She has always been a central artist for us, especially on two of our stations.
“We honestly didn't know she had released a 'country' song, plus no distributor sent it to us. As soon as we finally got it, we added it to our playlist.'
Social media users and fans of Beyonce later took to both Instagram and X, formerly known as Twitter, to voice their reactions to John's comment.
“Don't open your mouth to talk about her again,” one wrote, while another added: “You know you canceled, right?”
“Damn… did you really compare Beyoncé to a dog marking her territory???!?” That's crazy because if there were no black people, there wouldn't be country music… If there wasn't a black person. ..would you remain irrelevant…much more humble?' wrote one fan.
One wrote: “I'm talking about the queen who cast you,” while another typed: “You have guts to use a dog as a metaphor for Beyoncé… you should be ashamed of yourself…”
“But I know your white privilege doesn't allow you to, so we, the Beyhive, will terrorize you and your family for the last days of your boring white life until we see an apology.” STREAM also TEXAS HOLD 'EM & 16 CARRIAGES Act II OUT 3.9.'

“Beyonce can sing, dance, create, direct and do whatever her heart desires.” “If John Schneider is in bed with black women on a black-produced show and then turns around and calls Beyoncé a dog, that's it “It’s time for the Hive to start buzzing,” one fan wrote on X.
“He realizes she's actually from TEXAS and wears a T, right?” – ONE,” wrote another, while one added, “And John Schneider isn't even from Texas… but Beyoncé is.” He's lame, exactly like his songs and his acting. #BEYONCEISCOUNTRY.'
One social media user typed: “Comparing @Beyonce to a dog is racist and hateful.” As a country fan, I welcome her and let's see what she's got. John Schneider is another low life white supremacist. #Beyoncé.'
“John Schneider compares Beyonce's new country music to a urinating dog: 'Leftists try to take over everything.'” “I think he's talking about his own failed attempt at a music career,” wrote another.
