The Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton rivalry continues. Ever since the two country music singers busted out onto the scene around the same time, they’ve somewhat been at odds with each other. Over the years, that rivalry has become more friendly and comical, and this recent video from Blake Shelton is the latest entrant into the overarching Bryan-Shelton feud. It all has to do with Luke Bryan’s new song “Word On The Street.” There’s a line in the chorus of the track that mentions being “B.S. free in B.F.E.” When Blake Shelton heard it for the first time while listening to the radio as he was out doing farm work in Oklahoma, he playfully assumed that “B.S.” was referring to his initials. Then he jokingly said he wasn’t aware of what “B.F.E.” stood for, so he looked it up: “I was listening to an old country radio station. I was driving along and heard my initials on this song and so I turned the radio up and I realized it’s Luke Bryan’s new song. I heard the lyrics, and man I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so I actually had to look up what ‘BFE’ means. Cause he says ‘BS free in BFE.’ So I looked up BFE and, man I’ve got to say, this is one of the most honest lyrics that I’ve heard from Luke. I’m damn happy about it because I can honestly say that I’ve never been butt-effing in Egypt. I’ve never even been to Egypt, so I’ve definitely never butt-effed there.” Really going with the literal meaning of “B.F.E.” for maximum comedic effect… good to know, I guess? Shelton went on to sarcastically praise Bryan for being so brave to tackle that kind of subject in his song, and to simultaneously clear his name of any possible “B.F.-ing in Egypt.” It was actually pretty funny: “That’s a risky and powerful lyric from Luke, and very honest. I’ve never been there and he’s right about that. I’ve never done that there, and I’ll just leave it at that. It’s always shocking when you hear your name or your initials in a song, and come to find out it’s Luke. He is a buddy of mine, so it makes sense that he knows these things about me.” Proud of you and your new song @lukebryan!!!!! pic.twitter.com/ySogVDIAqS — Blake Shelton (@blakeshelton) March 2, 2026 Well done, Mr. Shelton. Well done. That video was posted just yesterday, and by doing a little digging, I actually found that a Luke Bryan post from a couple of days before most likely triggered that “B.F.E. misunderstanding” video. Bryan took a shot at Shelton on his official YouTube page at the end of February when he explained that the “B.S.” lyric in his new song did, in fact, stand for Blake Shelton: “B.S. free is Blake Shelton Free. If I’m in BFE that means you are in ‘bum f*** Egypt.’ It’s a long way out there. It’s hard to be found in Egypt. So if I’m in BFE, and I’m Blake Shelton free, then I’m truly happy.” So technically, that video started the mini-feud, and likely prompted Blake Shelton to think up his “B.S. free in B.F.E.” misinterpretation bit. I’m glad that the two country music stars who were huge during the bro-country movement still have a bit of a rivalry going. At the very least, it’s entertaining to see them take jabs at one another… and this latest one from Blake Shelton is probably my favorite so far. Here’s the song that the “B.F.E.” line is included in, in case you wanted to hear it: “Word On The Street” by Luke Bryan The post “I’ve Never Even Been To Egypt”: Blake Shelton Trolls Luke Bryan With NSFW Reaction To His “Powerful” New Song first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
