Things weren’t looking too hot for Zach Bryan — literally — the country star was out and about rocking a pretty gnarly black eye.

Yep, Zach was keeping it low-key in NYC over the weekend, but that shiner on his face was doing all the talking — capping off a rollercoaster few weeks that included some fiery back and forth with fellow country crooner John Moreland.

Variety reported earlier this month that Zach inked a fresh deal with Warner Records for at least two more albums, and on top of that, he’s reportedly selling — or already sold — his publishing catalog for a jaw-dropping $350-mil payday.

But Moreland clearly wasn’t thrilled for him — taking to his IG Story with a scathing jab … “$350M is a lot to pay for the f***in off-brand version of me. Y’all have a great day.”

Zach was clearly stung by the diss — posting a screenshot of Moreland’s jab and writing, “Yooo just saw this from an artist I’ve always respected and supported.”

Bryan, clearly blindsided, pointed out he’d actually written and recorded a duet with Moreland — “Memphis; The Blues” — for his 2024 album The Great American Bar Scene. But after the jab, he said he’s pulling the track altogether.
