Kelley recently shed more light on the situation during an appearance on the “Bussin’ With The Boys” podcast. According to Kelley, a seemingly innocuous display of an American flag may have exacerbated tensions between the duo. “I think one of the things that triggered him was, you know, I had an American flag and another flag flying on a close friend’s post to about 12 people. In my driveway,” Kelley recounted.
Kelley didn’t stop there. He also criticized the COVID-19 lockdown measures that were in place at the time, expressing frustration over the restrictions while large public protests and celebrations were allowed. “I posted a couple things but I’m proud that I posted it. I said, ‘You know I’m not sure why we’re still locked down if there’s going to be, you know, big protests in the streets and big celebrations, but we can’t go do concerts?’ I don’t really understand that and I was backing the blue-collar hard workers,” Kelley elaborated.
Kelley’s comments reflect a broader sentiment felt by many during the pandemic, highlighting the struggles faced by everyday Americans. “The people that don’t have a voice. People that need that kind of backup support. People like my dad. The way that I grew up. You know what I’m saying. People that were out of business. Out of work. In a tough spot losing everything that they’d work for,” Kelley said, emphasizing his connection to blue-collar workers and their plight during the lockdowns.
