Keith has been accused of stealing the idea for his latest single from a
San Antonio hip-hop artist. Fans of hip-hop artist Carlton Zeus claim
Keith’s concept for the single “Red Solo Cup” was taken from Zeus’ song
“Sharpie Solo Cup,” released by Zeus over a year ago. Zeus released a
video response to the controversy, in which he is seen eating chicken
for lunch as he addresses the charges against Keith. Keith recently told
Taste of Country that he’d been holding on to ‘Red Solo Cup’ for two
years before releasing it. Some Zeus fans are calling Keith a thief and
insisting that he should have credited the hip-hop artist for the idea.
The one person who seemingly isn’t upset is Zeus. He released a
tongue-in-cheek video response to the flap. The video for “Red Solo Cup”
– the latest from Keith’s upcoming “Clancy’s Tavern” album, due out
tomorrow – features appearances by Eric Church, Sammy Hagar and Ted
Nugent.
