Country radio station adds Beyoncé's new song "Texas Hold 'Em" to playlist after backlash

After facing criticism for not playing Beyoncé's new country song "Texas Hold 'Em," an Oklahoma radio station has now added the tune to its playlist. The decision came after a fan's request for the song was shut down, sparking accusations of racism from Beyoncé's fanbase.

The station initially claimed it doesn't play Beyoncé's music, but after receiving numerous requests, it made efforts to track down and listen to the song, ultimately recognizing it as a "country" track.

The incident has drawn parallels to past controversies around race and genre in country music and Beyoncé's previous foray into the genre at the 50th anniversary of the Country Music Awards in 2016.
