Oliver Anthony, the man behind the No. 1 hit 'Rich Men North of Richmond,' revealed he's bothered by 'seeing people wrap politics up into this' after his song was co-opted by conservatives
"This isn’t even a United States thing. This has been a global response," he said of the track — which references "the obese milkin' welfare" and a dollar being "taxed to no end."
"And don’t let anybody tell you otherwise. Don’t shoot the messenger. I’m a nobody. It’s my belief that divine intervention has put me in this position at this point in time to get a message across and that’s all there is to it. I’m nobody special," he added. "I feel terrible almost that I’ve been put in this place because there are a lot of artists and musicians out there that are far more talented that have put in way more hours than me. I don’t deserve to sit in the top 5 places on the iTunes charts. And the truth is i really could give a s--- less about the iTunes charts. What I care about is connecting with people."
