In the video, Young expressed how much it meant to him to have his friends and fans support him and believe in his innocence.
"It was a relief to see the charges dropped. Going through something like that is not something I would want anyone to experience. However, the positive aspect was seeing the overwhelming love and support from others."
The event occurred at a bar called the Dawg House in the city center of Nashville.
The security camera footage captures Young behaving calmly before he tries to get the attention of a Tennessee Alcohol Beverage Commission agent by reaching out his arm. The agent then pushes Young, causing him to stumble backwards into the bar and fall down.
In the video, Young mentions that he is still dealing with the false accusations and events from the past week. He also shares that the support from his fans motivated him to release a new song from his upcoming album sooner than planned.
The new release "Double Down" will be available on Friday, February 2nd, starting at midnight.
"Turn up the volume and have a good time. I am grateful for you, I care about you, and I want to express my thanks," Young expresses.
