Young expresses in the video that the support from friends and fans meant a lot to him, with many of them reaching out to show they believe in his innocence.
"It's a relief to see the charges being dropped. I wouldn't want anyone to experience what I went through. However, the positive aspect was receiving so much love and support."
The event occurred at the Dawg House located in the heart of Nashville's downtown area.
In the security camera footage, Young appears calm as he tries to get the attention of a Tennessee Alcohol Beverage Commission agent by reaching out his arm. The agent responds by pushing Young, causing him to stumble and fall back into the bar.
In a video, Young mentions that he is still trying to make sense of the false accusations and events of the past week. He also shares that the encouragement from his fans motivated him to release a new song from his upcoming album ahead of schedule.
The new album "Double Down" will be released this 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 want to say thank you," Young expresses.
