Zach Bryan and Warner Music have removed Dave Portnoy's diss track from YouTube and Spotify, and now it's called “All Out War.”

In case you didn't pay attention to the biggest news in the world last night, Zach Bryan and Brianna Chickenfry broke up a few weeks ago, and Defcon 1 has officially begun with Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards (Bri's best friend's co-hosts). Dissidents put a mark directly on Zach's head at midnight.

If you don't know Zach Bryan, he's the guy who produces tons of heartbreaking ballads. This is a man whose music feels like a culmination of emotional missteps; basically a walking breakup anthem. But it turns out there's more than just sad songs to worry about when you cross paths with your ex, Brianna Chickenfry. Enter Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards-

So here's the backstory: Bryan dumped Brianna with the classic “It's been a tough year” post on Instagram and she claimed she was blindsided. It was bad.

Bryan has allegedly Since they had already “moved on” with someone else (again, it's been a rough year), Dave and Josh didn't feel like defending their boyfriend.

But not with a few subtweets or digs in the podcasts – no, sir. They entered the cabin and, as it turned out, launched violent attacks on Bryan.

And that takes five minutes.

They went after Bryan – bringing up his drinking problems, his drunk tweeting, his cheating, his hairline and even his height (Dave claims in the song he's only 5'10″). They even blame Bryan for everything since his arrest in 2023. I didn't expect Dave to hold back for allegedly spreading STDs, but it's pretty cruel.

The name is a reference to Taylor's “The Smallest Man In The World” album, a dissent against Scooter Braun. The timing is no coincidence either. They dropped it at midnight – a nod to Taylor The Tortured Poets Department Album on which the song is included. Swift fans know she's the queen of breakup diss tracks, so this was like Portnoy channeling his inner Swift while attacking Bryan's jugular. For anyone keeping score at home, Dave is out here in Taylor's corner making it crystal clear where he stands in the Chickenfry Zach saga.

Bryan hasn't responded yet – the man deleted his X account and so far it has remained silent on the radio.

However, that didn't stop him and/or his label, Warner Music Nashville, from panicking and filing a DMCA copyright lawsuit against YouTube to get the video removed. Which they did.

Unfortunately, the censorship and suppression of free expression did not end there.

And since Spotify started writing this blog, he has now removed it. (It still shows up in search, but is grayed out and the play button is disabled.)

What on earth they think is copyright infringement here, I'd damn well know.

As far as I know, the beat was original. The lyrics are obviously her own. What Warner accuses Barstool of violating is a mystery to me.

But in typical Bryan fashion, Bri confirmed that they are all now blocked on his Instagram.

This breakup has gone from a sad country song to a WWE story, and I'm personally here for it. And that goes for everyone else too.

Watch the newscast.

It's just another example of why Barstool runs the show and Dave somehow always finds a way to capitalize on everything.

(And why Rone on the payroll is the biggest secret weapon in the game)

If you know anything about Dave, this is a textbook not react.

Zach Bryan has no choice but to respond with a track of his own now. I'm not writing down the rules, I'm just here to remind everyone. If he doesn't, he runs the risk of having his career, like Drake, derailed by Kendrick. And in this case, Dave would be Kendrick.

I mean, when KFC says Dave “captivated” you at your own game, that’s harsh.

Balls in your court, Zach.
