The Maroon 5 singer, never afraid to speak his mind, sent out a tweet on Wednesday aimed at the news network.

“Dear Fox News, don’t play our music on your evil f*cking channel ever again. Thank you,” the singer wrote, though he gave no context for the tweet; previously, he pointed out that Kelsey Grammer and Chelsea Handlers’ names sounded alike and notified fans that he was listening to early 90s hip hop on his way to Valencia.

Levine is an advocate for gay rights, and previously ripped Fox’s “American Idol” for suppressing the sexuality of its gay contestants. He is a judge on NBC’s “The Voice,” a rival of “American Idol.”

Back in August, Levine tweeted obscenities at MTV, criticizing them for only featuring music during the VMAs.

Adam Levine is fighting back at Fox News — in under 140 characters.

The Maroon 5 singer launched a war of words with the conservative news network after it used one of his band’s songs.

“Dear Fox News, don’t play our music on your evil f—king channel ever again. Thank you,” Levine, 32, tweeted on Wednesday.

Almost immediately, Fox News anchors retaliated in defense of their employer — and in language just as foul.

“Dear Adam Levine, don’t make crappy f—king music again. Thank you,” host Andy Levy wrote in response.

“Redeye” host Greg Gutfeld also joined in the dogpile on Levine with immature, and somewhat nonsensical, jokes.

“Why did Maroon 5 cross the road?” he asked on Twitter. “Because crappy music is legal there!”

Gutfeld then retweeted some of the “Voice” judge’s posts to reflect his strange obsession with the band being “crap.”

After Levine tweeted, “Names that sound alike: @kelseygrammer and @chelseahandler,” Gutfeld responded with, “names that sound alike: Maroon 5 and crap.”

It didn’t end there for the two Fox anchors.

Levy came on Gutfeld’s show, where the men went mercilessly railed on Maroon 5’s music.

“Ew,” said Gutfeld at the mere mention of the band’s name.

Then they went ahead and played their hit song, “Sunday Morning,” which went to No. 4 on the Billboard charts in 2004 — to which Gutfeld made more pained faces.

“I know what that is Andy,” he said. “It’s crap. If you go to iTunes and search under the category called ‘crap,’ that comes up!”

Levine has yet to respond to Levy or Gutfeld’s Twitter taunts.
