Country singer, songwriter, record producer, and actor Toby Keith passed away on Monday night at his home in Oklahoma, after a prolonged battle with stomach cancer since the fall of 2021. He was 62 years old at the time of his demise.
Trigger warning: This article has references to lynching and racism. Readers' discretion is advised.
The official statement from his family read:
"Toby Keith passed peacefully last night on February 5th surrounded by his family. He fought his fight with grace and courage. Please respect the privacy of his family at this time."
In the wake of his death, Toby Keith's famous song Beer for My Horses has come under controversy for the racist undertone in its lyrics and mention of lynching.
An X user with the handle @RFCapsMoustache critically commented on the same. Here's what they said:
Digital content maker and photographer Destinee Stark criticized the song Try That In A Small Town by country artist Jason Aldean on her TikTok last year for its racist, pro-gun violence, and pro-lynching lyrics.
At the same time, Stark criticized Toby Keith's Beer for My Horses, saying it was hard to believe the song had ever been approved for radio play.

That’s my favorite Toby Keith song, lynching is never mentioned. Hanging is, but hanging goes back thousands of years. This woman is guilty of ‘cultural appropriation”
Just looking at her, the image screams “Dimmocrap!”

I ain’t as good as I once was but I’m as good once as I ever was” speaks loudly to me at my age.
I guess that make Toby’s, and all those commie loving leftists friend, Willie Nelson, a racist also, since he joined Toby in singing the song.
After all, they are the ones whoo accuse others of being racist just by association.
Leftist lying filth.
Ditto’s
Surface online? It was one of his biggest hits, you complete muppet.
(Not you, WTO, the author of this idiotic article.)
She’s in Japan performing. Perhaps she’s not aware yet. People probably hid under the bed when Matthew Perry died and the five other friends waited a week to comment.
“ What’s “racist” about that? Does she think only Black people ever got lynched or got “frontier justice”?”
They are ignorant and do think that.
Her “Destinee” is diabetes or a heart attack.
“Digital content maker and photographer Destinee Stark criticized the song..”
So why should I give a thimble’s worth of piss about what she claims?
What a classless piece of work is this Swift. I expcet her not to be able to resist the fawning she’d get if and after endorsing Democrats in however way.
Anyone want to dispute the fact that there are a lot of people who need to be “Settled down”. Hang em high beotches
The fool RFCapsMoustache should be sentenced to 200 hours of watching old westerns. Bet he won’t see a single black man lynched.
ROFL!!!
Weak sauce, she could have taken 5 minutes out of her precious schedule to acknowledge the passing of a man, without whom, she never would have had a career.
Did they watch the video? The criminal is a white guy. I’m guessing most of the people ‘lynched’ by Texas Rangers back in the day were probably white cattle rustlers.
My favorite. My wife’s ringtone for me.
I hope they never discover David Allen Coe.
