In the video, Young expressed how much it meant to him to have friends and fans show their support and belief in his innocence by saying "we got you, we don’t believe you did any of this."
"I am relieved to see the charges being dropped. It's not something I would want anyone to experience. However, I found comfort in the overwhelming love and support I received."
The situation occurred at a restaurant called the Dawg House located in the city center of Nashville.
Footage from a security camera captures Young behaving calmly before he tries to grab the attention of a Tennessee Alcohol Beverage Commission agent by reaching out his arm. The agent responds by pushing Young, causing him to trip backwards into the bar and fall down.
"I'm still trying to make sense of the false accusations and events that happened last week," Young shares at the beginning of the video. Towards the end, he mentions that the support from his fans motivated him to drop a new song from his upcoming album ahead of schedule.
The album "Double Down" will be released on Friday, February 2nd, at midnight.
"Turn up the volume and have a good time. I am grateful for you, I care about you, and I appreciate your presence," Young expresses.
