Just when you thought Oliver Anthony couldn’t get any more worthy of becoming president, he dropped a video Tuesday that only made him a billion times more appealing.

Anthony made the video that was shared across social media after he found out some venues/concerts were trying to charge his fans upwards of $90 for one of his shows and $200 for a meet and greet. Anthony never wants anyone to pay more than $40 for a show and says every single concert should be around $25 per person.

“My adrenaline is pumping right now. I’m pissed off,” Anthony starts the selfie video. “Don’t buy Cotton Eyed Joe tickets for $99 a piece. And sure as hell don’t buy VIP passes for whatever bullshit price they’re on.”

He went on to explain how his “booking agent” is a friend of his and a plumber. This friend agreed for Anthony to do the show but never clarified the cost of tickets. When Anthony found out the prices were upwards of $99, he said “that’s horseshit.” (RELATED: Country Music Dominance Proves Real America Is Winning The Culture War)

“Just saw the Facebook post and lost my shit. Miscommunication with my friend booking shows and I. My shows should never cost more than $40, ideally no more than $25. Hell, out of the 4 shows we have currently done, 2 of them have been completely free. This will get straightened out tonight. Hold off on buying tickets for now,” Anthony wrote in the caption of the video. (RELATED: Want Morgan Wallen Tickets? It’ll Literally Cost You Your Blood)

He later noted the show was cancelled and apologized to all. The comment received more than 21,500 likes in less than a day, so I don’t think Anthony will have much trouble finding somewhere new to play. Also, Morgan Wallen could take a page out of Anthony’s book. The world would be a lot better for it.
