Garth Brooks has received praise after continuing his dedication to "inclusiveness" after he refused to boycott Bud Light.
Bud Light has been under intense scrutiny recently, as it was recently replaced as the best-selling beer across the US.
This comes after the brand was met with criticism from conservative Americans after 26-year-old transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney received a personalized can of its product.
Brooks, a 61-year-old country singer and bar owner refused to bow to pressure as he recently said in an interview with Billboard that his Nashville bar, The Friends In Low Places Bar & Honky Tonk, with be fully stocked with "every brand of beer".
Musicians like Travis Tritt and Kid Rock hit out at the brand after Mulvaney shared a promotional video of herself drinking the beer while dressed up as Audrey Hepburn.
Kid Rock even went as far as to post a video of himself shooting crates of the beer... although he never mentioned Mulvaney's name during the footage.
Brooks took to Facebook where during a live stream he revealed: "We did an interview with Melinda Newman from Billboard, and from that came quite a little bit of a stir. So let's … address two things on it. One is diversity. Inclusiveness: That's me. That's always been me [...] Everybody's got their opinions. But inclusiveness is always going to be me.
"I think diversity is the answer to the problems that are here and the problems that are coming. So I love diversity. All-inclusive, so all are welcome. I understand that that might not be other people's opinions, but that's OK, man. They have their opinions, they have their beliefs; I have mine," he added.
Following these statements, Brooks was met with the inevitable backlash from some of his fans, but he also received a lot of praise from both those who do and don't listen to his music.
"I've never been a Country Music fan, but after reading that, I am definitely a Garth Brooks fan," one fan tweeted, as a second added: "Garth Brooks has a new fan. Me."
Social media is full of those supporting Brooks as he shows that he isn't afraid to stand for what he believes in.
During his Facebook live, the singer concluded: "Here's the deal, man: If you want to come to Friends in Low Places, come in. Come in with love. Come in with tolerance, and patience.
"Come in with an open mind, and it's cool. And if you're one of those people who just can't do that, I get it. If you ever are one of those people who want to try, come! Let's have some fun. I don't know how to explain it any better than that."
It would seem that although some of Brooks' fans have jumped ship, he's gained a great deal more!
